What a great week to explore weather! We had snow, fog, rain, freezing rain, clouds, sun, wind…all in one week! The weather we had this week helped us to brainstorm the types of weather we know about. We also learned about weather that we don’t, or usually don’t, experience here in Calgary like tornados, hurricanes, and floods. The current flooding in BC helped us in our learning about floods too. We talked about how flooding occurs, how it affects everyday life and food supply, and how there are so many wonderful people who try to help those affected. Learning through current events is quite captivating for little learners!
Together, we worked on making our own versions of windsocks, we made a tornado in a jar (much like those calming jars), and a weather mobile with drawings of varying types of weather.
Our letters this week were S and J. The kids stamped images that started with S, in their journals. For letter J, the kids practiced writing J on our chalkboards and wrote multiple letter Js to fish from a drawn boat.
The big kids finished their work with “at” words this week. A couple of them chose to take on the extra challenge of using “at” words to write a sentence, together. I love their love of learning!
