Weather Day Two

Day in Review in Pics~

We talked about Rainbows - why we have rainbows, the colors, etc... We then tied in our lesson on similes with our watercolor rainbows! I had the kids do a creative response on what is at the end of their Rainbow!! I love reading creative responses! :0)

We learned about clouds today! 

I introduced the lesson by letting the kids meet the cloud people! THEY LOVED IT!! I used some fun voices for each cloud - we had a great time!

We made up hand motions for each cloud and talked about the different characteristics of each one. I then had the kids make their own cloud out of cotton balls! We made a big class graph on the ground and interpreted the data! Here are our results. [Before all of this I had the kids split up into groups and they wrote adjectives that described their particular cloud! I used those as the base of our class graph!]

And our display in the hall....I wish I had put some fabric in the background! Oh well!

Water Cycle Tomorrow!! 

Happy almost HUMP DAY!

Fashion-A-Fish

I LOVE this activity! The kids get so creative! I decided to put it into centers rotation this week to go along with our Dr. Seuss theme! This activity goes right along with One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!

Materials:

*Play Dough

*Recording Sheet

Have the kids create their own fish! I do set some guidelines just so the Play Dough doesn't get all mixed up. I am requiring one color for the body and then they can add up to 3 colors for accents! I made an example...the kids come up with way cooler stuff!!! I also created a recording sheet for the kids to fill out after they create their fish!
