Weather and Pet Clouds

Today we talked about weather and clouds. We did a fun activity that demonstrated what happens to clouds before it rains. As the cloud gathers moisture (in our case, from the eye dropper) eventually it releases the raindrops into the air and we get rain! We used an eye dropper to drip blue water down our clouds. This part of the activity let us use our fine motor control and pincer fingers to see what could happen!




Eventually the "cloud" filled with moisture from the eye dropper and it looked like it was raining in our jar!







After our experiment we continued working on our fine motor control, letter sounds, weather science, and following directions. We made our own Pet Clouds!

Mother's Day Projects!

This week was dedicated to mom! We have been keeping it all under wraps and can just now post about it! We wrote a few of mom's favorite things, drew a picture of her, made a 3d pop-up card, and an awesome vase that helped us with our fine motor control! It was a great and fun week! Happy Mother's Day Moms!


Painting the cards, writing about mom, and drawing a picture of her:

Cars, in Jars, with Stars- Rhyming Words

Today we spent some time working on rhyming words. We read a fun rhyming book about going to the beach. The whole book takes place in a car and tells a silly story about the ride to the beach with a fun rhyming theme. To stick with our theme we made a 3D project of a car, in a jar, with stars!
