Weather

We spent the week learning about and tracking the weather. We talked about how we needed to dress for the weather and what that looked like in each kind of weather.  I used the story of The Wind and the Sun to integrate with our topic. We have various activities which are aligned to the Common Core Standards.

Our paper plate umbrella. We cut the paper plate into half and let the children draw on the plate to come up with their own design for their umbrella.

Science Experiment:Blowing things using drinking straws to push various objects. The children extremely enjoyed this activity together with the other K2 class led by Ms. Marithel. They had given their hardest to push things by blowing with the use of drinking straws. The given objects were stone, cotton ball, wooden block, feather, leaf, a pair of scissors and a spoon. After this breathtaking activity, they were asked about their observations and was linked back to our weather theme.

Reflection on the story of The Wind and the Sun

I asked them to recall  the story and draw the story according to their own interpretation. This is one of the students' work which clearly shows how this student understand the story.

Journal Writing: What is my favorite weather?

We supposed to do a role play this week and other activities but due to time constraint we are not able to enjoy the activities I planned. Or maybe I just over planned my lesson.
