It’s been a busy 2 weeks in our classroom since we returned
from Christmas break! Even though the thermometer has read 80 degrees most of
the time, we’ve been learning all about winter! No, our toddlers couldn’t go
out and play in the snow, but we did learn about the cold!
Our playground is in the beating tropical sun, so to cool off
a bit, we usually play with water. These past 2 weeks, though, we’ve been playing
with ice! The toddlers have had so much fun scooping ice into cups, placing the
ice cubes back in the tray, watching the ice melt, rubbing the ice on their
faces, trying to lick the ice, throwing ice, burying ice in the dirt, etc. They
are talking up a storm these days, and “Ice is cold!” has become the new
saying.
