Snow Walk Discoveries

The students noticed that this patch looked like a circle!

A log!

This snow patch looks like a triangle.

FOOTPRINTS! They found big prints and small prints. This was the most interetsing discovery for the students. Who left the prints? Who or what can make prints?

The students realized they can make footprints.

LET IT SNOW

The students in Ms. Shan's class went out to explore in the snow this past week. The students discovered footprints in the snow which sparked discussion on what types of things leave prints in the snow other than humans.

Students also collected ice and decided to leave some of the ice in the courtyard and put some ice in a container and leave it in the classroom. Students thought the ice in the courtyard would "fall to the ground" and the ic in the classroom will melt. On Monday, we will see if the studnets predictions are correct.
