This week, Miss Carrie read the book Opposites by Sandra Boynton.

We talked about opposites. We knew up and down.  But some of the others were different.  We talked a lot about hot and cold.  Some of our friends sent in pictures which Miss Carrie put up on the Apple TV.  We talked about if they were in a place that was hot or cold.  If it was cold, the friends in the pictures wore coats, hats, and gloves.  Usually there was snow.  If they were warm, they were inside and weren't wearing coats.  It was so much fun to see what our friends did over Winter Break.

We had a special treat this week.  Miss Carrie made hot cocoa with marshmallows!  When asked if we wanted hot cocoa, we could say yes or no.  We talked about if we liked hot cocoa and if we drink it at home. If we didn't want any hot cocoa, we could still feel the side of the pitcher as we talked about warm and then feel the side of a chocolate milk carton that was cold.

Did you know we have child-sized pitchers?  We can pour things ourselves.  While we pour we count "One-two-three! That's enough for me!" so we know when to stop pouring.  If we spill, that's okay! We can get towels to clean it up.

DO THIS AT HOME:  Talk about hot/warm/cold.  Is the food warm or cold? Is the bathwater warm or cold?  Go on a walk out side and talk about it.  Talk about other opposites.  Mom and Dad are big and I am small.  These socks are the same, but this sock is different.
