Right before we all got to school today there was a little thunderstorm and we couldn't wait to tell our teachers. There was heavy rain and some thunder. Ohhh. It was loud. We made it into the school with the help of the giant umbrella. On Tuesday, it wasn't raining when we go to school, but it was so yucky outside that we had to stay in and play.
At the table today were lots of different kinds of leaves. We talked about them and we looked at them through our magnifying glasses. Then after we took attendance, we played with Play Doh, the tabletop easels and the musical instruments. We got to march around a circle to some music with the instruments and that was fun. Miss Lauren came to help us again today. Thank you, Miss Lauren.
Our story was "I Am a Leaf" and it is a Big Book with really great pictures. It told us all about how leaves grow on trees. First they start as a baby leaf, then they get bigger and bigger and then in the autumn they change color. Do you know what happens to leaves in the winter? Do you know how leaves help a tree to get water? We do.
We had a very yummy snack of pumpkin bread. Thank you, Logan. On Tuesday, our snack was cheese sticks and Teddy Grahams. Thank you, Max. For art we took some leaves that were made out of construction paper and we taped them down to a big piece of paper. Then we took some sponges and dipped them into paint. We sponged over the leaf and when we were all finished, Mrs. Whiteman took the leaf off of the paper and you will never guess what we saw. There was a leaf shape still on the paper from all of the paint. Cool.
