Weather

This week we began our Weather Unit. We began the week by discussing different types of weather. During morning meeting we came up with a great list of "weather words" that included: tornado, rainbow, rain, cold, hot, blizzard, foggy, humid, thunderstorm, snow windy, lightning and "yucky." We also read many weather books including: Weather Words by Gail Gibbons, Clouds by Anne Rockwell, Fly Guy Presents: Weather by Tedd Arnold and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett. 

Journals 

After reading the book, "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" the kiddos drew pictures and shared stories about what food they would like to fall from the sky!

Types of Clouds

This week we discussed three types of clouds - cumulus, cirrus, and stratus. We discussed what each type looks like and what kind of weather to expect when you see that type of cloud. 

Shaving Cream Rain Cloud 

Our shaving cream rain cloud experiment was a lot of fun! Not only did we discuss clouds, rain and storms, but we enjoyed the process and experiencing the different textures and colors that we made!

Mr. Bailey the Bee Keeper!

Ms. Massey brought in a bee keeper suit, a honeycomb and different tools that bee keepers use. Mr. Bailey put on the suit and entertained the kiddos pretending to be Mr. Baileys cousin Alex. He even disguised his voice and used a country accent! 

Next week we will continue our Weather Unit!
