Our one-year-old friends participated in a science experiment where they made a snowman using baking soda & water, froze it into small snowballs, then built a snowman! They hypothesized and tested what would happen when we poured vinegar on it...it FIZZES!

The theme for the month for January in the Twos was... shoes! They made prints with paint to compare the soles of two shoes and see how they are different.

Our Three-year-old friends explored snow as part of their science learning! They talked about what snow is, where it comes from, and how it feels when it is cold and fluffy. After their discussion, each child became a scientist and made their own snow using a special powder called Insta-Snow. The children observed changes, used their senses to explore the texture, and practiced new science words like dry, wet, soft, and cold. This activity encouraged curiosity, observation, and hands-on learning.

How They Made Snow

“We started with a tiny bit of magic snow powder. The powder was dry and looked like dust. Then we slowly added water and watched closely. When the water touched the powder, it grew and puffed up into fluffy snow! The powder soaked up the water, just like a sponge. We got to touch it and see how it felt—soft, squishy, and cold, just like real snow!”

Each child was able to feel the texture of the ice and build a "layer" of the class igloo.

Our Threes talked about exercises you can do while inside. They focused on 3 main ones: the stair master, treadmill, and row machine. While playing in the middle they had a "gym" where we was able to use those pieces of equipment.

Our friends created a snowman by gluing pre-cut circles onto paper to build the body. They use fine motor control with glue sticks and carefully place each piece.

Our friends then wrote the letters of their name on the snowman (on the body segments, buttons, or hat), focusing on correct letter formation and letter order. This activity supports hand strength, coordination, and early literacy skills.

Our Pre-K 2 students had so much fun creating winter-inspired texture art! They prepped their own materials by tearing paper, squishing foil, and sorting different textures, building fine motor strength and independence along the way.

Using glue, students squished foil and layered materials to create their own winter pictures, focusing on creativity and exploration rather than a final product. This open-ended process art activity also encouraged social skills and collaboration as students shared materials, talked about their ideas, and worked alongside their friends.

Our Pre-K 3 students enjoyed painting as a creative experience, using bright colors and brush strokes to express their ideas. This activity encouraged creativity, focus, and fine motor skill development while allowing each child to create a unique piece of art
