2022 Week 28 Seasons and the Wind!

 Winter❤Spring❤Summer❤Fall!

We've been learning about Seasons of the Year this week in K! And with the change in seasons,  we have wind! 




During Tuesday's centers we did the following stations:

Season Sort with Ms. S...


Springtime playdough toys with Mrs. Knutson...


 


Comparing big numbers with Ms. Martinez....

We had a fun snack on Wednesday when Keefe brought pretzel sticks for us to create Xs with!

Some kiddos took this pretzel designing up a level!



We have a couple of new stations in our room waiting for next week's weather unit!

 

Ms.S had a very fun lesson on the wind!  We learned the wind can be both good and bad! 
We then "huffed and puffed" some objects from point A to point B and graphed our results!
