Kite Day

Today's story was titled The Wind Blew.  At one of the centers the children explored wind.  Each of them were given a straw and a bag of objects.  They used their straw to create wind to blow on each object.  They observed the results of their blow and recorded them on a recording sheet.

At another center the children created a kite.  They were able to use glitter glue to decorate their kites, which they loved.  They also practiced patterning when they glued bows on their kites.

Today the children also read a story titled Rain.  On each page they dotted raindrops.  On the last page of the story they drew a picture of themselves holding an umbrella, because the words on this page said, "But not on me."  We have been working hard all week on u is for umbrella.

Yesterday we had a new arrival to our classroom: caterpillars.  We will use the caterpillars as a way to learn more about the life cycle of a butterfly.
