Lakewood Child Care Center

What’s the weather like? This week was all about weather. At group this week we discussed different types of weather that happens during the different seasons. During spring and summer, the weather is warmer but you can also get rain. During fall and winter, the weather gets colder and it can rain in the fall but then it turns into snow in the winter because of how cold. We also discovered that the sun can shine no matter what season we are in. At the math table this week, the children worked on number recognition activites and sorting. At the language table, the children worked on letter recognition as well as writing out words. At the science table, the children created their own tornadoes in a tube. We filled the tubes with water and had them spin it to watch the tornado form. When the clouds were out, the children used our cloud finder to look up in the sky and determine what clouds there were. On Monday, the children watched a video about a weather scientist and how they determine the weather. Besides the weather, the children also learned about the letter Jj. We wrote Jj words, sang the Jj song and read the Jj book. We also took a step back and discussed emotions and our feelings. We will be working on using our words and telling our friends and teachers how we feel and why we feel that way. We have been using emoticon faces that are placed on our quiet box to work on this skill. This will be something we will continue to work on as our friends continue on in the pre-k room. We hope that the children enjoyed learning about the weather this week. We have more fun set up for next week. We hope you all stay warm and dry this weekend! As always, Go Browns!
