Such A Lovely Day

It was such a lovely day we decided to do most of our work outdoors!

Our letter this week was "L". We started the day by dreaming up "L" words and making our tongue do la la la things. Mrs. E. read the book "The Wind Blows" and we followed up by making our own "kite hats". There was a kite in the book that the wind blew. So we took our hats outdoors -- complete with tail -- and tried to make 'em fly! Very fun. Lots of giggles. The kids were also invited to fill-in a large "L" with legos!

Then we did a kite color matching exercise in the classroom. The kids all got a little kite made from construction paper. They were invited to get up and seek out their color mate somewhere in the room.

We took the huge parachute outdoors and tried to make things fly. There were things in the story like a newspaper, a scarf and a hat. We took these items outdoors and put them on the parachute and tried to make them fly.

We finished off the day by taking some bubbles outside. We poured some solution in a cup and gave the kids a straw. They were laughing and giggling. It was great.
