This week we have learned about clouds, rain and wind.
One of the favorite activities, of course, was making mud and dirt! We rained milk into a pile of dirt and it turned into mud. While the mud cooled down in the fridge, we crushed some cookies into dirt to go on top! Lots of fun and a super yummy snack!
We also used our time in the kitchen to make rain in a jar. We (I) poured boiling water into a jar and put ice cubes on top to make it 'rain' inside the jar.
After that, we moved back to the preschool room and each student got to make their own rain in a jar, with the help of some shaving cream and colored water. After a little bit, the shaving cream started to dissolve and the kids all decided they had fog in a jar! I was so impressed that they made that comparison.
Today we talked about the wind. The weather cooperated nicely with a great breezy day. We spent centers time talking about patterns and they all did really well!
During our group activity we pretended to be wind, experimented with what things the wind could move and made our own windsocks!
