We learned about the four different seasons. Seasons change throughout the year because of the way the earth moves.  Spring always follows winter, summer comes after spring and fall after summer!  

We have been working on the color orange, rectangle shape and letter Nn this week.  We colored or painted an orange winter hat.  I took picture of each child and we placed the hat on their picture. These turned out super cute!  We have continued reading Does A Bear Wear a Hat in the Winter.  I set out dress up pieces to dress the bear and they also made their own story mat.  

We started our day VOTING! I know this has nothing to do with a frog and umbrella but thought the concept of voting would be fun with the kids. No, we did not talk about our political beliefs today. We learned that sometimes you can vote when a decision in your own family needs to be made. We learned voting can help us make a fair decision about what to do when we don't agree. Today we voted on lunch choices. Chicken nuggets won in a land slide! We set up a polling booth, the kids each took turns completing their ballots and then we counted.
We practiced cutting, writing our names and made an umbrella. We practiced filling in a "bubble" in our fine motor journals.
​We used tissue paper and the kids could tear, cut and or crumple. We learned that frogs like to get wet and drink through their skin.
We enjoyed the sunshine and raked some leaves as well!
