April Morning Bins


Alphabet Rain
glass gems from Dollar Tree

Last week we were watering the plants, I mean letters lol. 

Did I use these gems last week? Yes, 

Did I put them away? Yes,

Did I get them back out for this week? Yes lol 



For whatever reason, 
even using cardstock,
the papers were still rolling up.

So I had them move the poms poms.
Then put the drawer on top.
Grab mats here.



We're practicing our glue bottle skills.

Kinderpond Learns about: Weather





I start each unit with a letter that my students open.
Then I use the word cards from HERE
to go into our writing center.

 During our science lesson,
I use THESE word cards.


Here is our butcher paper activity.
I used those fabric cubes and 
added weather to roll and they 
can draw on the paper.


They loved it!



Rainbow mini erasers to build the letter.


Measuring lightning and rainbows.
Although I didn't find a rainbow recording sheet.


This is how we store our centers.
I share a room, so I pull the blue pocket
chart pictured at the top, down to cover them.



Here are our light table guidelines.



I asked the staff to save those
big chunks of excess to make these
weather pages.
sn*wflake, raindrop, and sun.





The above printables are from HERE.

I made Weather Stew from HERE.
Jumbo rainbow erasers
the sn*wflakes are metal-ish
white poms for clouds
yellow pipe cleaners for the lightning
yellow poms for sun
blue glass gems for rain


Bowls for the stew


Q-tip painting sheets HERE.




Make sure to grab these FREE weather printables



Stews Just get the bundle, it's well worth the money. 
It's a bit of prep, but I have not found a class that doesn't love them!
