Weather Week

Hey everyone -
This week was "Weather Week" at Monarch Kids. Enjoy the pictures!

We made several crafts about clouds, sunshine and rain. Here we have our "Rainy Cloud" - a 3D cloud that the kids painted and stuffed with newspaper. Next to it is the "Sparkling Sunshine" - just a fun exercise for the kids to decorate their sunshine however they please.

Here one of the kiddos is putting on the finishing touches to her "Rainstick" - a super fun craft!

Here are some more cloud and sunshine crafts - the sunshine one was especially fun. They loved using a cd in their craft and it was a great activity for them in patterning - yellow and orange circles.

One of the days, all of our math and literacy activities centered around a book called "The Wind Blew" by Pat Hutchins. In the story the wind blows something away from a different person until the very end when all the items come back down and fall on the people. So in the picture above, the kids had to sequence the story's events by putting the pictures in order from the first to be blown away to the last. They recalled the information really well!

Here are the books we read this week.

Coming up next week..."Pumpkin Week" and a field trip to a local pumpkin patch!

Thanks for reading - have a great weekend,
