Our weather reporters stared off the week with a sunny forecast!

We loved celebrating Dr Seuss' birthday with a little Cat in the Hat fun!

We worked like big kids to cut out our own rhyming cards!

And then did so well making our rhyming matches!

We loved learning the colors of the rainbow and choosing our favorite one!

Then we made a rainbow graph!

We learned where leprechauns like to hide their pots of gold!!

And had so much fun making our own!

Dance Break!

If you were wondering where our peacocks went, they are hanging out in our Learning Center Zoo!

We conducted yet another color mixing scientific experiment this week!!

Can you guess what yellow and blue make???

SHAMROCKS!!!!

Our Five Day Friends LOVED making their own Weather Wheels this week!!

We worked on our gross motor skills with some YOGA fun too!!

Kite patterning was a breeze!

We loved conducting a cool new Rainbow Experiment!!

We started off with water in every other cup.  

Then we added only three colors of food coloring to 4 of the cups!

And lastly, we added paper towels connecting all 7 cups!

Then we OBSERVED and OBSERVED and OBSERVED!!!

🌈What a fun experiment!!!!🌈

Dance Break!!!

Q is for Quilt!!

After reading The Three Little Pigs, our little engineers and architects set off to build their own houses!

The first ones we made were made of straw!!

Then... dun, DUN, DUN!!!!!!

The BIG BAD WOLF tried to blow them down!!!

Then we tried building houses out of sticks!

But they were still no match for the BIG BAD WOLF!!!

Then, we took our time, worked even harder and built our brick houses!

And these masterpieces were finally NO MATCH for that BIG BAD WOLF!

Our little piggies were safe at last!

Then, in true PreK-3 fashion, we made our own little piggies!

Our 13 little piggies are now corralled in our classroom gallery!

We loved making our own hand rainbows this week!

Our Five Day Friends did so well coloring their own rainbows using a color key!

Learning Centers were so much fun this week too!

Play time is so much fun in school!

q is for queen!

The queen we read about had very, very naughty feet!

Ask your little royal all about it!

We conducted yet another SWEET Rainbow Experiment!!

It was so exciting!!!

It was so exciting!!

Our Favorite Rainbow Color Show and Tell was so fun too!

We did so well making our raindrops too!

Be sure to ask your little rainmaker what two things you need to make a rainbow!
