What's the Weather?

This week we are talking about the weather....and since it's spring and we live in Kansas, we tend to have something different to talk about each day! We are very happy that snow has melted, the sun has come out and we have been able to get some fresh air several times a day!

Today we read the book "It Looked Like Spilt Milk" and talked about how clouds can make different shapes in the sky!

Later this week we will be playing games about the sun. We are in need of some flashlights (to be our suns) that we can shine around the room. So, if you have one or two that we could borrow for a few days we would appreciate it. You can put your name on it somewhere and we will be sure to return it by next week.

In the next few weeks we will be moving on to talking about farm animals. Last week we got to attend an assembly with the Southwest Dairy Farmers who brought Ginger, the cow, and showed us where cows lives and how they milk them. We even got to see the farmer milk Ginger for a few minutes! All of my friends did a nice job sitting and watching! We got special cups that show us how much milk we should drink every day. We are keeping those cups at school until the end of the year so we can use them during snack time!

We may be looking in to having some farm animals come visit us. So if any of you know of anyone who has farm animals that like to travel and would be nice to my preschool friends, let me know and maybe we can arrange a time for them to visit. If not, Miss Sara next door, is working on some arrangements as well!
