Winter 2024 - Week Three

January 19, 2024  •  Vol. 18

Greetings Honeysuckle Families,

Happy Snow Day! I was thrilled to be with the kids in the garden this week with all of the snowy fun. What a week.

On Tuesday, the children were literally bursting at the seams to go outside in the snow and play. Snowball fights, snow angels, and hot cocoa with marshmallows. Who could ask for more?! We also discovered a beautiful ice sculpture when a plastic bowl of water froze overnight. After an hour or so outside, we came in to warm up. Some of the students interested in handwork started learning how to wind a ball of yarn while the others did some creative play in the classroom.

On Wednesday we were thrilled to welcome a new student to the Society! Once again, the kids couldn’t wait to go outside and we had a lot of fun making ice stews and crunching up the ice with shovels and sticks. One Society member had fun experimenting with the thermometer to see how it changed in hot water versus in snow. Then we went inside, read some books and had the most delightful craft circle.
