Raindrops keep falling on my head!

Day 2 with the Letter "R" was so much fun! Danell did an amazing job planning! Especially since it was super cold outside and we had to keep the kids occupied longer inside!
 
This week was Ruby's birthday! So perfect that her name starts with the letter "R"! The kids also recognized that Robbie starts with "R" and the Jerry, Carly and Carmen all have a little "r" in their names! It was very ironic that all of the "L" names did not have any r's!
 
 
We read a special book for Ruby's birthday! "Ruby in her own time". There were lots of letter "R"'s in the story! All of Ruby's siblings had R names and they also experienced a fun R word! ...


 
Rain!!!
The kids had so much fun taking turns choosing a raindrop off of the special umbrella and doing a fun Rain activity! Here they are jumping over puddles!


Ruby had a hard choice to make!

 
They explored how clouds (cotton balls) absorb moisture and then become heaving and rain.

 
They said a fun rhyme about the water cycle.

 
Practiced rolling like raindrops. Forward ...


 
And tried backwards too!



 
We all made thunderstorms with lots of wind,

 
Rain,

 
and Thunder!

 
They also sang some fun songs about rain!
 
We sang Happy Birthday to Ruby and enjoyed some yummy Red cupcakes!

 
And then finished off the day by painting Rainbows!
