Dear Parents,
Today we learned all about changes in matter. A snowman (really more a iceman) was brought in for students to touch and feel. We decided the snowman was wet, cold, and smooth. After watching the snowman melt for a while (and after blowing him with a hair dryer) we saw the ice turn into water. The water was also very cold. Next we put the water in the microwave and turned it very hot into steam. The kids seemed to really enjoy this activity.
Also we had a fire drill this morning. The kiddos were super well behaved and I was very proud how they all walked in a line very nicely.
In the afternoon we practiced counting by counting dots on the penguin bellies.
