A Sense of 'Touch'

Bongo crosses the bridge from Sean to Messiah.

ACTIVITIES: Temperature
Usha has planned activities involving temperature this week. With this experiment in comparative temperature, children place hands in one cold and one warm bowl of water, simultaneously. After a minute or two, they place both hands in a tepid bowl of water. They are then amazed that the very same water feels warm and cold at the same time in different hands. Needless to say, such discovery bears repeating until sufficiently amused.

The activity that followed the next day was making 'snow.'

Bongo slithers from Ella's arm to a warmer place. Don't worry, she found her way out through the bottom of the dress after Ella did a bit of careful wiggling of her own part!
