I have been having problems posting from my mobile phone. So i need to catch up! A couple Friday's ago, Ethan's new kindergarten class celebrated Winter with lots of fun activities like making snowflakes for Mom. Two of Ethan's favorites were the Ice Sculpture and Ice Skating.
For the ice sculpture, Mrs. Kelly had them find different fun containers to freeze ice in and bring them to class. Ethan used a heart shaped jello mold, his castle and dragon moon sand molds, and food containers like jello and applesauce as well as popsickle, hostess cupcake trays and more. I wish we had thought to color some of them with food dye like a few others did,
but we didn't. In class, Mrs. Kelly had them try to figure out how to make them stick together. After a few unsuccessful tries with peanut butter, tape and glue, she suggested salt. Of course the kids did not think it would work and so were surprised that it did! The sculpture was melted by
the time I saw it but Ethan was very proud of it.
For ice skating, Mrs. Kelly had them put wax paper on their feet. They then "skated" around the room and down the hallway. The kids were a little disappointed that they did not get to make the
floor into ice, but they still had fun!
