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.

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!

Week in Review: Weather

Adding the trucks to his 14 days of Love envelope.

There is another row of green cards.

I was trying to fit it in my smaller

pocket chart lol

 How fabulous!!

Froglet got a Paw Patrol calendar for Christmas.

I wanted it to be something that was worthwhile and meaningful,

so I made small stickers for him to attach.

I used small mailing labels.

I got about 3 to each label.

I drew 4 things from the week.

I plan to grab my stamp sets and see what works. 

Great process art- not very exciting ending lol

He had a blast "painting" so it was totally worth it!!

I am all for keeping it real.

Here was the weather page I added to his binder...

I guess he didn't like it too much! :)

It is still there.

Here was the groundhog cookie and Froglet was 

coloring his for his cup.

Game seemed simple and I thought that it would take no time to win.

We played several times and none took less than 10 minutes. 

Each player gets the 4 weather cards.

Spin and whatever spot you land on, you turn your card over.

I didn't realize that the gameboard was color coded until, 

oh the 5th or so time we played lol

Froglet played this game many times over the course of the week and 

each time he got it out, we played about three times in a row.

They do in fact still have rainbow airheads!
