After reading The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, the children wondered what would happen if we brought two containers of snow in the classroom (one container with just snow in it, and the other container with snow and cold water in it).  The children were surprised to see that the snow in the cold water melted so much faster than the snow that was in the container by itself.

 Chef Anibal gave the children a tour of the AP Room, as we are preparing for eating lunch there next week!


We celebrated Milania's birthday!
