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!

Letter of the Day

The situation: I use all of these for the letter of the day work. 

Read about my setup HERE.



Going clockwise:
There are new letter sound books that I will add
Random mini-books
Letter A games- this is a whole set.


Read about the letter board HERE.


I can barely carry this thing lol
Soon it will have another book included!



The bad news is that it doesn't all fit inside lol

I am leaning toward hanging folders because 
I need it organized and manageable.
I am up for any other ideas!
