We began our day setting out cups to measure rainfall. We came inside and played several different instruments, listening and expressing which one sounded most like rainfall.

We read part of Jan’s Brett The Umbrella. Mel got out her purple umbrella and we studied its different parts and how it is best used.

Then we created a living umbrella with our bodies. We opened it and closed it.

We created art, in the image of rain.

We danced.

We added sheets of rain around our tree.

We got word books out and spelled R-A-I-N and lots of other words, by request.

We continued our exploration of magnets.

We rested our bodies and felt raindrops (squirt bottle) and heavy wind (feather duster) on our faces.

And we ended our morning measuring our bodies and the rain that fell into our cups.

Enjoy your day.
