Fine Motor Thursday!

For this week’s Fine Motor Thursday, students 1) painted snowmen, 2) wrote snowman names, 3) used their fingers in slime or Playdough (the slime did not turn out like it did last time unfortunately), and 4) excavated ice to save the Lego figures!











More Fishing for Ice

Oh oh!...I apparently forgot to upload some pictures from our fishing for ice experiment! Here they are of my AM class. Sorry! J

Making Slime--Ooey Gooey Fun!


Students in the PM class volunteered to help me make slime for our Fine Motor Thursday activity.  They helped measure ingredients, add a wide assortment of ingredients (glue all the way to buttons and glitter!), and mix them all together!




      

Fishing for Ice Experiment!


I wanted to share our “cool” science experiment from last week.  Students went fishing for ice!  When salt is sprinkled over ice, it melts, and in our experiment, the ice around the string refreezes again.  This is how we are able to “hook” the ice when fishing!  Check out our pictures below and see how many ice cubes students were able to catch!
