Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

Now that its December we have dug out the snow. Magic imitation snow that is, this year we have two kinds. One is light & fluffy the other is cold and crystal like. The children loved making this science project as we measured out just the right amount of water to mix with the powder solution.
Then we had to wait for the magic to happen.......Ta-da the mystery magic snow appeared. We mixed up everything in the clear glass and watched as it the cup overflowed, making the liquid turn into a solid. We also discovered how it multiplied and became more as it poured over the sides and expanded. Then it was time to let each child hold a scoop of the magic powder in their hand as the teacher poured water in to their palm. Each child giggled as snow magically appeared. After each child had a turn making their own batch we took turns playing in it. I hope that I am able to bring the kids up to my moms house in Auburn (she has about 2 ft of snow in her yard)maybe next week so they can play in the real snow for a little bit and then head inside for some hot cocoa by the wood stove before we head back down the hill. We may be able to go over and help feed the horses if the roads are cleared by then.

Bouncing Around

Its definitely Winter time. I can't believe we had snow this week. The kids have been spending more time indoors and have invented games and pretend play. We have had increased music time the last few weeks using rhythm sticks, ribbons, songs and chants. This not only teaches the children music but rhythm, the ability to follow directions, leadership, and some physical movement.
Our newest song we love.
We're going to Kentucky
We're going to the fair
to see the senoritas
with diamonds in their hair
Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it if u can
Shake it like a milkshake
and drink it from a can
Rhumba to the the bottom
Rhumba to the top
Turn around and turn around
Until you holler "STOP"

The children love this one, you can even ask your child to teach you the words and movements it will be sure to leave you giggling at the end,
It is so wonderful when you can see the children learning from each other. The other day I caught the children having a band. They had a leader and were copying movements and following each other around.



They even added costumes to their marching band making up their own songs as they moved to their music.

Every Year I host a Parents night out as a thank you to my wonderful families. This year with having a new baby I have never been so tired as we are still not sleeping through the night. This year I am going to have to cancel this fun night and instead I have made a special gift for each family that I will be handing out soon. I hope you enjoy it as I have worked really hard on it and the children can't wait to gift it to you. I hope they have kept the secret from you so far.
