Ice, ice baby

This week and next week, we are learning about winter and cold weather animals.  Here are a few of the kids playing with "snow" and ice.  You should have seen their faces the day I told them we were going to make ice.  They were sooo excited. It was priceless!    We froze the water  in different size containers and after they froze we watched them melt as the heat from our bodies (and room) melted them.  The kids also got to guess which container the ice was frozen in based on its shape.
