Monday we learned
about floating in the air.
We started
out our day with circle time. We looked out the window to see what the weather
was like (cloudy) and we put today’s date piece on our calendar. Miss M loves
the sight word and color flowers so she sat there for a while looking/playing
with those.
Next we used
our magnifying glass to search our theme poster for things floating in the sky.
Our first
activity for the day was called Feather Float Test. Mother Goose Time provided
us with some feather manipulatives this month. We would toss a feather in the
air and observe how it slowly floats to the ground. We noticed that the smaller
feathers floated more slowly than the larger feathers. Miss M had a blast
throwing them up in the air. Then I had her sit down and I held a feather above
her head and Miss M would try to catch it.
Next, we got
to make a hot air balloon! Miss M wasn’t very interested in helping decorate
the balloon or the cup so we just went ahead and put it together.
I tried to
get her to explore and find a small object to put in the little basket (soufflé
cup) but she checked it out for a couple minutes and then decided to just rip
the cup off right away. Then she just wanted to just run around the room with
the balloon.
Our last
activity for the day was called Kicking Clouds. I cut out some cloud shapes and
attached some yarn to them. Miss M helped make some clouds of her own by
ripping up some paper. We don’t have a table to tape the clouds to so I held
them up for her to look up at them while lying on her back. Then we tried
kicking the clouds. She did this a couple of times and then wanted to play and
run around with the clouds. Run, run, run :)
We also read
Sally’s Great Balloon Adventure. It was a very cute story about a black Lab
named Sally and a hot air balloon.
