With a "Spring" in Our Step!

Welcome back from spring break! We have enjoyed the warm spring weather this week, while learning about spring! This is the last section in our Season Unit. 

On Monday we learned about birds coming home and making nest in the springtime. Even though God didn't make us as nifty as birds at making nests, we decided to try! We scavenged outside to find some materials for our nest. With the help of paper bags, we used the materials to make our own nest!



On Tuesday we talked about the different weathers in spring. While the rain can be a bit sad, we decided that we love when a rainbow comes out! We explored rainbow colors by making a rainbow ring. 



On Thursday we learned about Benjamin Franklin and how he used the wind to discover electricity. We went outside to fly our own kite. Luckily, it wasn't stormy out. Sorry that I don't have any pictures, I was to busy running!


In phonics we have learned some tricky word families like unny, uddy, and usty. Dr. Flemmingway also came in all the way from Harvard to teach about the word family ight. I sadly missed her lesson, it's funny how we never end up in the same room together!

In math we have been telling time! We began to learn about minutes on a clock and reading digital clocks. We have also been reviewing counting money. 

For a craft this week we used our own wind to make wind streamers. We first blew paint around on a paper using a straw. Then we attached streamers and brought the ends together to make some great classroom decorations!
