Last week we finished up our weather unit! We learned a little bit about graphing by making a graph of our pets. After that, the kids made their own weather graphs.
One day was spent learning about rainbows. We had tons of fun making a rainbow in a bowl. If you want to try this at home, the instructions can be found here, http://www.kidzone.ws/science/rainbow.htm . It was really easy and super fun! The kids then got to make their own rainbows out of fruit loops.
We have been talking a lot about shapes and numbers, so we pulled out the playdough to help us practice. Anything involving playdough is always a hit! This is another fun thing you can do at home that helps turn playtime into learning time.
We finished off the unit by making a bulletin board of all the things you've learned. In case you haven't noticed, I love to use the bulletin board as another learning opportunity. The kids love to show off what they've learned. In case you can't interpret what you see, we have a tree, clouds, a very small sun, a few rainbows, a little rain and lots of snowflakes!
I am so excited to start our occupations unit next month. It's always fun to talk about what you want to be when you grow up. Don't forget to meet at the park on Wednesday for some Halloween fun!
