Rose Drive kindergartners play with real snow, create igloos

Talk about hands-on learning – and very chilly hands at that! Ms. Perr’s kindergarten class at Rose Drive Elementary School was delighted to touch and play with real snow (directly from the mountains) this past week. The fun activity encouraged students to use their senses to describe what they felt, saw and even tasted. The topic of snow continued into the next day, when students created their own igloos (to coincide with the letter of the week, “I”). The only catch? Instead of snow, students used marshmallows and cups. The children tested their math skills by grouping by tens to reach 50, and then proceeded to place each marshmallow in a structure of their own design. The result? Completely unique and individual igloos!
