Rain, Rain Go Away






Wednesday we started off the day with a fun circle time discussion! Our topic was RAIN, another type of weather. I asked the kids to give me some examples of patters, each child gave me funny patterns using colors, food, body parts, clothing, and names. Then we talked about weather patterns. Our favorite pattern is dark clouds, rain, sunshine, rainbow. One book we read had a fun moving thermometer. I asked what kind of clothing they should wear if their mothers said it was 30 degrees outside, many said swimsuits. We learned about the weather temperature starting with freezing to really hot like 100 degrees. It was fun! Phillip tried to read us a book. He did a good job sitting and holding the book.
We practiced writing the letter W/w with fingerpaint on a little table. That was messy and ever so fun! After a while the kids played bloody hands. That was even more exciting. We made fun little weather wheels for the kids to take home. Some of the kids made sun or cloud suncatchers with old CD's and construction paper.

For snack we ate yummy dirt cups with worms. Ewwwww!
