On Thursday we wondered how long it took for snow to melt. We also wondered if snow needed sunshine to melt and if snow was dirty or clean. We decided to make an experiment to find out.
Some of us thought snow would take all day to melt others thought it would take 10 minutes and so thought it wouldn’t melt at all because there was no sunny inside. We went outside and build snowman and brought them inside. The snowman then started to melt. The smaller snowman melted quickly and the larger snowman took my time but we found out they all melted and that it took longer than 10 minutes but not the whole day. We then took the water from the snowman and tilted it through paper towel so we could see if the snow was dirty or clean. We discovered all sorts of strange things in our snowman water. There was dirt and color and twigs and some of us even found glitter. We decided snow wasn’t very clean after all and most of us decided we should probably not eat snow.
Mme Hawtree had a crazy idea that we could practice our numbers using shaving cream. She put shaving cream on the tables and we practice writing the numbers from dice on to the shaving cream. It was messy but a lot of fun. Most of us are getting pretty good at writing our numbers. Some of us are working on slowing down to make sure we are writing them the right way.
We also wrote a story about what snowmen do at night we had lots of great ideas of what they could do and it was fun to imagine a world where snowman are alive while we are sleeping.
Many of us are getting pretty good at reading our sight words. We can read:
ici, c'est, je, le,la, les, ami, papa, maman, and a few others words.
