Seasons & Weather

As always a fun week learning and discovering. We learned about seasons and weather...the letter Ww and the number 5. We created tornadoes and wind.

Thursday:
We began our day with my last 2 kiddos sharing their, "All About Me!" buckets! I have so enjoyed getting to know these kiddos and the things that make them special! Thank you parents for helping them find things to share!


Time to make some Watermelon Sun catchers! Who knew hair gel could be used for things other than hair!? 

Add gel...food coloring...and then count out 5 watermelon seeds.



Perfection! If you don't use them as sun catchers...they make great sensory toys!


W is for Weather!
Great Job friends! 
A future weather anchor? Looking good!


Pattern Blocks to make Ww


We were able to witness a monarch emerge! The wings were still wet...so she settled on my hand and the kiddos were able to see up close this amazing life cycle!

Their faces say it all! BEAUTIFUL!
Friday:
In my room when you drop kiddos off...you never know what you are going to get yourself into! I was able to hunt down 3 parents to do 4 handprints per kiddo for me...so we could make some wonderful seasons! Thank you parents for being so willing and flexible!
How about some, "ring around the rosies!?" 

"They all fall down!"


Painting with Watercolor...Whales! We love the letter Ww!



Decorating our trees...Tis the season!

So awesome!

Math time...adding seeds to our watermelons! Creating such a strong foundation of numbers...and peeling stickers is such a great fine motor skill!


Tornadoes in a jar!

Such a great helper!



This tornado was right outside my house 3 years ago. I shared it with the kiddos. We talked about safety plans. They called them "Tomatoes" 

You can't tell...but these kiddos have their hands in front of their face and are blowing. They are feeling "wind"
I modeled wind with a straw and a feather. Then I gave them each a straw and a feather and they practiced making wind!
Our Bible verse for the week:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven."
