Three Simple Pleasures: Snow Falling in Evening, Snow Dogs, Science with Young Learners

1. This evening the snow really began to fall after I returned home safely from school. The view from the front door illuminated by the porch light was beautiful.

2. Our dogs love the snow. They run out and roll in the snow, cover themselves with snowflakes, then want back in to lay in front of the fire to warm up again. They are funny critters!

3. Today I spent an hour helping the first grade teacher do a science lesson. I often forget how young students learn simple scientific concepts. Today with bags of solid objects first graders explored properties and learned about objects that are flexible, rigid, transparent, and opaque. They were very excited learners! Next they move on to liquids!
