School today!

We have been learning about the sun and day/night and now the seasons. Since the ground is covered in snow we started with winter today. We talked about what we wear outside in winter and what it looks like outside and what animals eat during winter. We made winter scene pictures complete with a cotton ball hill, white rice "snow flakes" and glitter. We did math with felt little snow man and "built more" (adding) before others "melted" (subtraction). Then we did handwriting (for Aiden) and just play for the little guys in "snow" or shaving cream on the table. Aiden practice writing winter words such as snow, ice, cold, and sled. They will finish their lesson on winter this afternoon by going ice fishing with Nanny and Pappy!

Here they are all helping to spread the shaving cream all over the table. This is the first time that Griffin has been in on the fun AND the first time Maverick hasn't cried about having messy hands.

Aiden is writing one of his winter words in the "snow." They had such a great time and did not want to stop when it was time to clean up...but after a while the mess starts to really grow and you have to get it taken care of.
