Winter Inside the Classroom

With all the snow and cold weather before winter break, we created winter play invitations in the classroom for the children's return. We weren't expecting the temperature outside to soar into the 40s and 50s. One child perfectly captured the irony: "It's snowy inside and feels like summer outside."

Regardless of the weather outside, the children are thoroughly enjoying the winter play invitations. They’re especially drawn to the activities in our light area and sensory bin.

We are having the best of both worlds: winter fun inside and warm weather outside, allowing for extra playtime.
