Prints in the Snow

This morning started off with both excitement and surprise. The snow was coming down in huge flakes! All of the Pine kids were anxious to get outside and see it on the playscape. We bundled up and headed outside

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...
