Check out what we used to decorate our letter "K"!

Today we read a non-fiction book about rainbows.  Here are some of the things we learned....

~rainbows are always red at the top

~rainbows are always violet at the bottom

~the best time to look for a rainbow is after a rainstorm; late in the afternoon; or early in the morning

~you see a rainbow when the sun is behind you and it is raining in front of you

We also learned that you can see a rainbow's colors when light passes through a specially shaped piece of glass called a prism.

Ask me to tell you the story of Kangaroo Kazoo!

Katie Z. from Pre-K "B" brought in her kittens for Sound Box.  Her mom brought them to our room for a visit, too!  Their names are Tiger and Jasmine.

 

 Today we read another story about mixing colors called, Mouse Paint.  Then, we did an experiment with mixing colors of paint.  Be sure to ask your child what happened when he/she mixed together certain colors of paint.  You can use the photos below to help!

 Today we experimented and explored with straight and curved wood pieces.  These pieces will be used as we learn to write letters in our handwriting program.
