Winter math and science this week with Frozen Bubbles and Penguins

Feeding the penguin…combination of the game Memory and addition/subtraction.

Pick two cards and work out the math equation and then feed the penguin that many fish cards. They loved it.

Frozen bubbles

It’s been really cold. Why not blow bubbles outside and see what they do? They freeze and shatter!

We also estimated how many snowballs to make a snowman. We found a great template here.

We played a really fun math game called Melt the Snowman. Katie won, but Tori was a good sport. We’ll play it again soon.

We broke out our new continent box of Antarctica Friday.

I have a sensory continent card, penguin life cycle chart, penguin 3-part cards, animals of Antarctica, and a Penguin Toob. The kiddos LOVED it! We have lots of winter, snow, and Antarctica books on our display shelf right now.

The girls are proud of their new box and all the goodies! They spread it all out on our new mats (from Walmart), Montessori-style!

We matched penguins to the cards and learned about the different kinds.

We made a rubbing (sort of) out of the sensory card.

Then, Tori and I explored some prepositions with a penguin printable: above, below, beside, on, left, right, etc.

I found this great penguin FFG that I recommissioned as a Build a Sight Word game.

I wrote cold words on the penguin signs and Tori matched up the letters on the other penguins. She loved it.

We played a fun penguin feeding game.

Antarctica is a pretty cool place and we love penguins!

Alex went outside when it was 18 degrees to help his dad and the neighbors fix the fence. Brr!

He LOVES his new BLUE Crayola dry erase board!

Livin’ it up at Christmas dinner (sparkling grape juice)!

Our new cube system with some Montessori trays. Alex’s is on the left. My K girls’ is on the right, but they often share. Alex sure is different from the girls at 21 months! He is so active; he doesn’t want to sit still for long and has no interest in paper activities.

A favorite activity is in the bottom far left cube: pouring black beans into a bowl. He also liked picking up pony beads and “feeding” the duck in the middle bottom cube.

He pretty ignored all his other activities.

Here is Alex using one of the girls’ activities. I didn’t think he would be able to do it, but he sure surprised me! I named all the colors and shapes for him.

He loves the pattern blocks!

So I found our other tangram set for him to play with…

Alex was sure thrilled to pick out all the O’s (circles) from these tangrams. (Why, yes, that is a princess table…)

He asked me for a bowl to sort them into. He found all the baby O’s.

Then he started stacking O’s and squares by color!

He enjoyed stamping with our snowy stamp set.

Finally, we have snow!

We went to a neighborhood park while Elizabeth was at her music lessons. Tori was proud of her snowball. She wanted to bring it home and put it in the freezer. That reminds me of an Arthur episode where DW does that…

Alex and Katie pelted me with snow!

Alex does not like sledding downhill, but he loved being pulled around on level ground.

Katie is the daredevil who loved sliding downhill. She wants to find a really BIG hill…

Tori was crazy too. Surprised she stayed on her knees and didn’t fall over!

We had lots of fun in just an hour, waiting for big sister!

We’ve added calendar notebooks to our morning time.

I’ve just been waiting for my little girlies to be ready for this!

We’ve pulled ideas from Mama Jenn and 1+1+1=1.

Our first snow…This is the Snow Bunny with Tori.

Katie was getting a snowball ready and I hurried on outta there.

We’ve been busy with You Can Read and RRSK.

We were sick all last week, which made for a not so fun Thanksgiving. We had dinner on Saturday because that was the final day we could cook that bird before it ruined. We are ready for the Advent season!
