On Tuesday, the Rainbows were thinking about snowmen. They made snowman pancakes together as well as some mitten pancakes. The smell of freshly cooking pancakes filled the classroom and drifted into the hallway. Making our own snack is such a fun treat! Some of the children experimented in techniques for getting the maple syrup onto the pancakes as well as directly into their mouths.
At circle time, the kids heard a story about a girl who built a snowman over and over through the course of a winter. The animals made off with the edible eyes, nose, and mouth that she used in creating her snowman. Each time the snowman began to melt, she would find a way to save part of the snowman in order to start anew with fresh snow.
The Rainbows also enjoyed using glue to create artistic representations of snow creatures out of cardboard discs, colorful decorations for features, as well as fabric and cotton balls for texture. Hopefully some of you will get a chance to build a snowgirl or snowboy today!

And boy did those pancakes smell good! What a perfect story for a pre-snow day.
