Worms and Weather!

After we WIGGLED like WORMS, we made some MUD of our own!!
Everyone got to help make our mud even muddier!
Now.... it's time to EAT!!!
(we had another one of those "Teacher, I can't eat dirt or worms" moments!! haha! They keep my laughing all day long!)
What good lookin' CHEFS I have in their Red Rooster Aprons!
 We really got into the "Eating the muddy worms" idea!! Look at these silly kids!
Making W's with their worms and their fingers!

In addition to WORMS, We also learned about the WEATHER today! 

We are all going to be checking the weather for the week and graphing it's changes! Hopefully this Fall Weather will give us some fun results!

Did you know that those clouds were made up of tiny water droplets?!

We made our own Weather Mobiles to help us know what kind of weather to look for! 


Next, we played a fun science game called:
this game had EVERYONE giggling!




We discovered that not all wind is equal. Wind comes in different strengths! If an object is heavier than the wind, it will not move, but if the object is lighter than the wind, it will move!

We also discovered that if we blew from the top, the heavy objects did not move. But if we blew from the side or underneath it, and had a strong wind, they would move!

What a W-W-Wonderful Day!!

V is for Vehicles!

We are loving the road map!
Any spare moment they can get, the kiddos run to drive on the map with their Vehicles!

Our Ever Changing Trees!

SEASONS
There are 4 seasons of the year
When one leaves, another one appears

We love the seasons
Lets name them all
WINTER
SPRING
SUMMER
and
FALL

Today we learned about the 4 Seasons.
We learned about the behavior of animals during each season, the effect the seasons have on plants, and what people need to do to adapt to each season. We recognized the pattern or the cycle of the seasons, and the importance of why one comes before the next!

Give those fine motor skills a rest.... 
cause we got to use them today!

 Look how fabulous our TREES OF THE SEASONS turned out!
