Windy Weather and the letter L

Lovely Lions

We sang our weather song, and reviewed the weather today. We talked about Windy Weather. We looked at different pictures and decided if the wind could blow them or not. We read the story "Like A Windy Day" by, Frank Asch. We colored and cut out kites that we will be useing in our Spring Program. Along with our kites, we sang "Let's Go Fly a Kite". We made our own wind with our mouths, and blew a pin wheel that we got to take home.

Our letter today was "L" Lauren, Luke and Lucus, were all pleased to have the "L" be the letter of their names. There were a lot of wordless singing of La-la-la-la! and laughing today. The popular tale of the "Lion and Mouse" was told using Miss Janaynn's hand puppets.

After the story, we made Lion masks and a snack of Lime Jello with whip cream.

We played a follow the leader type of game called, "One Little Lion", and continued singing our weather songs.

Our 4-5 year class learned to make loops. We made a "Loop 'D Loop" craft using curling ribbon, I think regular ribbon or yarn will work better for next time. I was really pleased to see how well the childen caught on. It's fun to see them learn something new and a bit more complex, plus it is a wonderful small motor skill to practice. Get those small fingers working!!
