Some of you may have already heard these songs a few times from your precious little ones, but don't worry if you haven't you will definitely be hearing them tonight during homework time and you are very welcome because you will definitely have it stuck in your head for days = )

We of course have been learning all about the weather this week and we have been so lucky to have enjoyed a variety of different weather (thanks Memphis for being so bipolar).

Monday we kicked off our weather week with some really cool foggy weather. This was perfect because we learned all about clouds this day. We read a book called what else but Weather. After learning all about the different types of weather we read It Looked Like Spilt Milk. After reading the story and finding out the picture wasn't really spilt milk, an angel, a great horned owl it was a cloud! We all layed on the floor and pretended we were cloud watching and everyone told us what kind of cloud they saw. Next we made some really cool cloud pictures by folding our paper in half like a taco and squishing some white paint in the middle. When we opened up our papers everyone had something very unique and then they used their imaginations to tell us what their picture looked like. We were pretty impressed with what each student came up with!




We will be using our weather pictures each day to create a weather book my friends can bring home and "read" to you so be looking for some super cool weather books by the end of the week.

On Tuesday we created our own unique snowflakes. They were all so different and beautiful because no two snowflakes look the same. We also talked about the fun weather we may or may not get on Thursday and Friday. We all know how Memphis weather can be so we shall see what really happens. You know if they are already talking about it on Monday there is a string possibility it will just miss us. 




On Wednesday we read Wind and  all of my friends water colored their own kites to fly in the windy sky. 


Thursday we read Puddles and learned all about rainy weather and made tissue paper raindrops and later in the day we made sun catcher tissue paper suns.
(Pictures to come)

For jobs this week we made a Watermelon W

We searched for the letter Ww

We created snowmen by matching the same hat color, eye color, the color word written in the color, and then they had to find the color word written in black and white. 

And since we have been working so hard in uppercase an lowercase letter recognition we mother some lowercase letter rainbows with some uppercase cloudy letters. 

What a great week to learn about weather! We even had a "snow" day! It was more of an hey we may get some snow/ice so lets stay home and snuggle. I missed all of my babies but I sure enjoyed snuggling with my own baby all day!
