Do You Want to Build A Snow Cake? - Janie

Back after a double snow day! Can anything really compete with the first real snow we've had in 2 years? The classroom was exploding with stories of all the fun friends had in the snow over the long weekend.

I sledded with my sister - Lucia
I tried to make snow angels - Sylvie
I made a snowman - Jane
I made a snow tower - Lucia

And then, like a snowball to the face, we were hit by inspiration

We can use clouds to make snow. We can paper and cut it and and make snow to put on the doll houses - Sylvie
We need scissors - Lucia
We can make snowballs and make snow fight inside - Sylvie

It needs to be fancy - Janie

Some people play with balls in the snow - Sylvie

After chatting about the snow we created, we turned our attention to our building materials. We could make snowmen, but where would they live? How would they stay comfortable as our paper snow fell? We needed to make houses for the snowmen, of course!

The sign says "No Monsters Allowed" - Jane

We headed to the outdoor class to continue our weather work with the real thing. The children were so excited to build and play with the snow. Thankfully, many of us brought boots from home to keep our feet warm.  The pure joy of playing in snow with friends is inspiring. We had such a great day. Take care and stay warm.
