This week the Haifa class talked a lot about winter. We started the week by trying to figure out exactly what we would need if we were going on a trip to somewhere cold (Boston perhaps?). Sauci brought in a suitcase, and invited each of the children to offer ideas of what we would need. Instead of just offering ideas, they then went to their cubbies and grabbed what it was they had mentioned. We ended up with about eight hats, six pairs of gloves, three sets of boots, and a few pairs of snowpants. If each child needs all of that to go outside, I think we may have a problem!! This was a great activity because it allowed the students to think, come up with ideas, and then actually add something physical to the discussion!

What a great way to make this much-discussed topic interesting and fun!
