Let It Snow!

While sitting at snack the Pine friends were discussing what we could replace our pine cones, hanging from our branch in the classroom, with when it is winter. 

"We could make like the snow falling! We could put cotton balls up to make snowflakes!"
Just then, the kids gasped. 
"Look behind you!"

I turned around to see big snowflakes falling from the grey sky. 

"Can we go see it?"
We headed outside. 




"It's so cold!"
"They are so big!"
"It's turning all white."
"I don't want it to melt!"

After running around for a few minutes the kids wanted to head back inside. Once back in the room they ran over and started stacking blocks up against the window and shelves. 

"We are trying to see the snow!"
"There's so much coming down!"

Seeing as it was getting a bit crowded we decided we should find a window in which we could watch the snow coming down. 




"There's so much coming down!"
"The whole grass is white!"
"Wow, it's pretty."
"It's so cold and white!"



B had a different idea on what he could do with the snow. While the others ran around and tried catching on their tongues, B decided he wanted to see what it tasted like. 


B picked some up and put it into his mouth. 
"Brr!" he exclaimed as he took another mouthful. 

He giggled excitedly as the snow fell around him. Such a fun day!

"We should make it yellow too." "It also needs a telescope (periscope)." Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
