WEATHER

Date: December 1-5
From: Tanya

Language Experiences:

• We did a wind experience using various objects around the room and a blow dryer. The students predicted what you blow or not blow away. Then, we went outside to feel the wind! It was not windy that day!
• We made umbrellas out of paper and decorated them with feathers and jewels. Check them out on the wall in my room!
• We made a Tornado in a bottle using two 2 litter bottles, food coloring, and water. We watched as the tornado was spinning into the opposite bottle. The kids were amazed!
• We made fake snow.
• We watched "The Snowman" a movie about a boy who builds a snowman that comes to life. The students were "glued" to the movie as I narrated it using appropriate language targets.

Vocabulary: windy, snowy, rainy, sunny, tornado umbrella, boots, cloudy, wet, stormy, rainbow, mittens, gloves, lightning, puddle, rain coat, scarf. (We will continue with some of these words next week!)

Notes: Reminder: Grandparents Day is Tuesday, December 9th at 11:00 am. All grandparents are welcome to join their grandchild to build a yummy gingerbread house. If grandparents are unavailable, a special friend or parent is welcome to join. Also, the Bake sale will take place in the staff room from Tuesday until Wednesday afternoon. Come on in and purchase some holiday goodies! All proceeds will go to purchasing new playground equipment for the children at Northern Voices. Other than that...have a wonderful weekend!
