Rain, Rain Everywhere

In connection with our Sky and Weather science unit, we did several Fun Table activities pertaining to rain.  We talked about the water cycle and made rain clouds out of shaving cream, water, and blue food coloring.  

The children also made rain clouds using cotton balls and black glitter!

They look great on the bulletin board!

This coming week, we'll finish up making our rain sticks and use them while singing songs about the rain, such as "It is Raining".

It Is Raining

( Tune: "Frere Jacques")

It is raining,

It is raining,

On my head.

On my head.

Pitter patter raindrops

Pitter patter raindrops

I’m all wet!

I’m all wet!

Pancakes and Pajamas!

Pajama Day 2019 was a big hit!  Our special hot chocolate and pancake snack was delicious!  

The children got comfortable and listened to stories about pancakes and nighttime.  On Thursday, I read If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff and on Friday, Miss Peterson read The Napping House by Audrey Wood.

For Fun Tables, the Thursday group used chalk and a paper moon and stars to make nighttime pictures. They looked terrific!

On Friday, the children drew something from a dream they had or would like to have and dictated information about the dream.  Their pictures look amazing on the bulletin board!

We sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and played games.  The Thursday class played Flashlight I Spy and the Friday class acted out the Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed story. 

As you can see, great fun was had by all!
