Last Week in January and Starting February

We froze water in many containers last week in preparation for our ice races on Tuesday.  We'll take the ice out of the containers and in the gym we'll set up a race course.  We will take turns predicting how far our ice will slide on the gym floor and then as we line them we will give them a shove and see how far they glide!  In our small swimming pool we will also add ice and talk about what will help the ice melt.  One of our children already guessed that if we add salt, it will melt the ice.  The children will add salt and see what happens!


We will also play with colors this week as we add water to our markers on paper to see how they combine.  For cooking this week, we'll make pigs in a blanket and enjoy some hot chocolate too.
