🎨 Painting with Ice: The absolute favorite activity of the day! The class loved seeing the colors melt and blend. ⛄ “Sneezy the Snowman” Snacks: A delicious (and adorable) craft to eat. ⚗️ “Snowstorm in a Jar”: We became scientists to watch a blizzard happen right before our eyes.
Ask your little learners which part was their favorite! Have a warm and wonderful weekend, everyone! 🧣🧤
