Brrrrr...Perfect Weather for Ice Fishing

Hello,
In the land of make believe, anything can happen. Well today we pictured ourselves outdoors on an icy lake fishing! First we bundled up in our imaginary boots, jacket, pants, gloves and put on real scarves to keep us warm. Then, each of us got a "fishing pole" and caught as many "fish" as we could. Easier said than done...lots of eye hand coordination, determination, counting and patience! We had 4 "ice buckets" where we could put our fish after they had been caught. Then we counted them up and put the results on the white board about which basket had the most fish, the least fish, which number is bigger, smaller etc. Our final result was:

Bucket 1= 6 fish
Bucket 2= 14 fish
Bucket 3= 16 fish
Bucket 4= 19 fish

Lots of fun and lots of requests to have a do over real soon! A great lesson in counting, greater and less than and having lots of patience to actually catch your fish!

Holiday projects and art activites are on the way to fill up our bulletin boards....keep your eyes peeled for this. This is a busy time of year with lots of things on the horizon.

Hugs,
Miss Sue
