All About: Holiday Cheer

I sure hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful holiday break.  We have received our fair share of snow, and I think we are supposed to get even more! 

Our time off is going way too fast, and pretty soon it will be time to go back to school.  It already seems like the Christmas season is far behind us and it is almost time to getting back to business. 

Let's try to slow it down and continue enjoying our time with our family and friends. 

Here are some highlights from the last week of school.

All About: Clouds

This week, we learned about four different types of clouds.

Cumulus:            Big, puffy white cotton balls

Cirrus:                Wisps 

Stratus:               Blankets, flat like pancakes

Cumulonimbus: Storm clouds

The children used cotton balls to replicate what each type of cloud looks like.

All About: Picture Perfect Weather

This week we started learning about different types of weather in Science.  The children learned about the different types of weather that can occur during the different seasons.  We also learned about different weather tools that measure weather.

To kick off our weather unit, the children drew beautiful winter weather pictures for the Jet 24 News Station.  They have a segment every morning called Picture Perfect Weather Pictures.  Your child's weather picture could be on the news.

All About: Wants and Needs

This week we were wrapping up our unit on Community Workers by learning about Goods and Services and Wants and Needs.

We learned that there are specific things we need to live and stay healthy:  water, food, shelter, air, clothes, and love.

We ended the week by creating "Wants and Needs" holiday stockings.  The children put the Needs on one side of the stocking and then they were able to flip through a toy catalog to find everything they want during this holiday season!
