Christmas in literature and other mass media, presents images of Santa, Baby Jesus, decorated trees, presents, and snow.  Here in Hawaii, snow can be an intangible concept for many three year olds.  One way to bring the concept of snow into the classroom is in the form of ice.  Showing them that water can freeze into ice and that ice can melt back into water, gives the children hands on experiences.  In the sensory table this week, we will put frozen blocks of ice for the children to explore.  We added color and confetti to make it more fun.
