Weather

This week we talked about the weather and we learned about the four seasons (although, where we live it's more like 2 seasons...)

On Monday we had fun making our own rain and thunder storm. The kids loved clapping their hands for the rain and stomping their feet for the thunder. They even had fun spinning in circles acting like tornados.

We talked about the four seasons and what makes each one different. It's hard to explain fall to kids who live in the desert! :) They were looking at me like I was crazy when I said that some trees change colors like red, yellow and oranage. I did show them some pictures of trees in the fall in New York. That seemed to help a little.

On Friday the kids made their "four seasons" craft. They had fun cutting out the leaves for the trees and choosing an apple tree or an oranage tree to decorate. We talked about blossoms and how the trees look like they have popcorn on them (like the song "popcorn popping")

There was another birthday this week...
Happy Birthday to Paytyn!

(SORRY- no pics this week...my computer won't download them right)

Have a GREAT Fall Break!
