This week we learned all about ice, mittens, jackets, and snow. We

played in ice in our science center and even mixed colors to change

its appearance. We painted with ice cubes in our art center. We sorted buttons by size, used buttons with

letters on them to make words, made mittens with rhyming words, wrote about our jackets, and made earmuffs with missing addends. We

loved matching mittens with pictures to clips with the word on them and painting our igloos to

reveal rainbow words.
