Although the snow arrived later than expected this winter, students eagerly embraced the season with creativity and collaboration. Some teamed up to build intricate snow forts, while others shaped hearts in the snow as symbols of friendship and kindness, transforming the wintry landscape into a place of connection and shared experiences.
The changing conditions also sparked curiosity and hands-on discovery. As snow melted and refroze into ice overnight, one class conducted experiments to explore the properties of matter, while another studied the science of snow, forming delicate crystals and observing their intricate structures up close. Younger children became nature detectives, following animal tracks in the snow and uncovering clues about how wildlife adapts to winter.
These moments of exploration turned the snowy outdoors into a dynamic learning space, where students engaged with nature, investigated scientific concepts, and experienced the wonder of winter in new and meaningful ways.
