A Snow Hotel

By -

On our light table we invited children to explore a winterscape with arctic animals and different blocks that could be used as ice. What was interesting was that all the animals were living amongst each other in this cold part of the land. Shelter was a big emphasis within their play and animals needed a special place to stay safe from the cold weather. 



TM - Polar bear and penguins are in here

PW - Can I come inside? Knock, knock

TM - This is my ice house, you can't come in! 

PW - *boom, boom* 

 



Brooke - Tell me more about what you made

TM - Well, this is not a cave. It is a snow hotel where the animals are living. The coyote can can come in. 

DN - Where is his mommy and daddy? He is so sad *sad howls*

TM - C'mon coyote, come into my hotel. 

DN - I can't, I lost my mommy and daddy. I'm too sad. 

TM - The polar bear will take care of him. 


TM - The animals can't move out, they are sleeping

DN - *woof woof woof*

TM - C'mon in

MP - Wolf, come here wolf! Wolf, where are you?!

DN - *howling*

MP - Come on wolf! It is open!

TM - The wolf wants back in!


MP - Ahh, ahh - I like you wolf

DN - Daddy! I found you! 

MP - Help! Help! 

DN - WE STOPPED THE ICE WHEEL!

Happy First Day!!! First days are filled with anticipation, nervousness, excitement, giggles, and so much more. Connections are forming. With each other, between materials, and new spaces. These connections will strengthen as time goes on and these connections fuel all that we do.  Each day we offer children the opportunity to engage with areas of our room. We wondered, "What can your hands make?" PV - "I made a dance floor! People can dance here" CC - "It's me! Legs and a my face"  We also wondered "What stories do bugs tell?"  Of course snack came and some were VERY excited for this part of our day.  EU - "My belly has been so hungry!"  BC - "I love snack"

Fun in the Snow

We got all suited up and ventured outside for some fun!  Cold air sharpens the senses, quiet falls softly, and every footprint becomes a question. Hands learn weight and texture, balance finds new pathways, and joy rises with each shared discovery. Snow invites patience, collaboration, and wonder a living classroom where nature leads, and children construct meaning one snowy moment at a time. Children were fascinated with our "old phone". They really wanted to make a call, so they called Miss Brooke who was in the other room!
