With it currently being so hot outside, they did a fun ice-themed activity to cool down at Temple Beth Israel Preschool! Large blocks of ice were put in a big tub and children experimented by putting rock salt on the ice and watching it melt, as well as adding colorful food dye and seeing how it took the blocks of ice from clear to full of color!
