We explored nonstandard units of measurement during small groups. During our measurement experiment we made predictions about how many “marshmallows” (large and small) long we thought each item would be. We tested our predictions and found the actual length of each item, then recorded it our math log.
We made our very own batch of snow play dough today in small groups. We measured and mixed the ingredients found on the recipe to create a wonderful bowl full of fun. Our special ingredient was of course…glitter to make it sparkle like freshly fallen snow.
We created our very own snowman suncatchers today to hang in our classroom windows to make it feel more like a winter wonderland! We learned that Antarctica is covered in ice and snow, great for snowmen! But, sadly we learned that no one lives there to build them except for some scientists who stay there for a short time to learn about Antarctica.

Happy Reading!
We completed our last gingerbread book today during group time, The Gingerbread Girl goes Animal Crackers. We decided to make our own gingerbread girl to gobble up! We added the ingredients, mixed and stirred, stirred and mixed, then formed the dough into the shape of a gingerbread girl! We knew from all of the stories we read that once we put her in the oven, WE COULD NOT PEEK or she might escape! We went outside for recess while she baked in the oven, but someone must have peeked because when we came inside, she was gone! The children searched the classroom and finally found her in the library! We used the rest of the gingerbread dough to make gingersnaps for snack time. They were delicious!
