Happy February!
This we we heard stories about Groundhog Day and made our predictions. Everyone, except one, was hoping for an early spring, but I heard that the groundhog saw his shadow! Six more weeks of winter...we can do 6 weeks! Last Tuesday we braved the cold and walked to the library. The presentation on sound was excellent. The children learned that vibrations cause sound and that sound can travel through air, liquid and solids. Some had a chance to make sounds using different instruments and everyone got to use their sense of hearing to find matching sounds.
In math we have begun a unit working with teen numbers, particularly "composing" and "decomposing" the numbers. We continue to practice addition and subtraction in class and are finishing up January centers.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at conferences!

To help us deal with the cold and ice, we had a little science fun playing a "Melt The Ice Cube" game. The children received an ice cube and a die. Each roll determined what method they would use to melt the ice cube. In case you would like to play this at home, the directions are below, along with some pictures of the fun. You are correct in guessing that #2 resulted in a lot of laughter! :)
