Sorry this post is a little on the late side, time has definitely gotten away from me!
Last week we talked a little bit more about rain and how it happens! We did a science experiment and made rain in a jar. The hot water on the bottom and cold air on top causes water to condense on the plate and 'rain' in the jar!
We then got to make our own rain sticks!
On Wednesday we had our long awaited trip to the farm! The kids had a good time learning about cows and seeing the other animals.
I think my favorite part was the baby calf! She was only a few minutes old and we got to watch her learn to stand up and walk.
Friday was our last day about weather as we talked about rainbows. We learned about some of the science behind rainbows and made our own rainbow in the backyard using the hose. We also made a rainbow in a bowl! This took forever for some reason, so the kids didn't actually get to see it. I'm sure they would like to see the picture if you want to show them!
This week we also learned about the letter h. One of our activities was charades with words that start with h. We then used those words to make the objects out of playdough.
We also introduced alphabet bingo this week and the kids did a great job of matching the letter on the card I held up to the letter on their board. Later in the year I will make it harder by just telling them the letter names, rather than showing them the cards!
