Wind!

Hello 4K Families, 

During our opening circle time we read two books. We read The Wind Blew and Super Duck. Both of these books focused on how wind moves objects. In Super Duck, the duck wanted his kite to fly so badly and with the work of his friends they discovered that wind was the only way to make it fly. 

Next the children had centers. They will rotate to a new center every day. Ask your child which center he/she visited today. 

At the first center, the children listened to the story, It Looked Like Spilt Milk. Then each child folded a blue piece of paper in half and spooned some white paint into the crease. Then the children folded the paper and rubbed it. When the paper was opened, they had a neat design. Each child helped write what his/her cloud looked like. 

At the second center, the children did some wind experiments. Each child tried to blow different objects across the table. They recorded which objects they could blow and which objects they could not blow. They had lots of fun experimenting! The afternoon students also made their alphabet book page. They glued umbrellas onto their Uu's. 

 

At the third center, the children played a game that worked on identifying the beginning sounds of words.

Then it was playtime!

Our Altrusa visitor read us the story Big Red Barn. Your child received a book of his/her own, too! The children were very sad to hear that today was her last day visiting. 

Today we talked about how rainbows are formed by rain and the sun. Then we danced with rainbow streamers! The children had so much fun! 

**Please remember to send your child to school with boots, snow pants, a winter coat, mittens, and a hat. There is still snow on the playground and there is also lots of mucky water. We don't want your child to have to ride the bus home with wet pants. Thank you for your cooperation!
