Clouds are Floating

This week we continued our weather unit by focusing on clouds.  We read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and made a class book.  We learned about the different kinds of clouds and made a flip book.  We read Little Cloud by Eric Carle and used shaving cream mixed with glue to make puffy cloud pictures.  See a few pictures below.

In math this week we worked on place value.  We practiced it all week using base ten blocks, gameboards, and number cards.  See if your child remembers the two important questions the banker should ask!  (If the number is 63 they ask, "Why do you need a 6?  Because there are 6 tens.  Why do you need a 3?  Because there are 3 ones.")  The game that came home has instructions and is a bit different than how we played at school.  Enjoy!

 Tune in next week!  There will be information on our rainy weather and our April Visitor Day.
