Pre-K: Weather and Rainbows, 4/13-4/17, 2026
Dear PreK Families,
Fittingly, we had all sorts of weather outside for our Weather unit this week! Rain, sun, wind, and wide-ranging temperatures made for some great discussions and observations…
We had a classroom filled with weather-related scenarios. Dramatic Play area became the PK Weather Station, where meteorologists explored and broadcast their predictions. On the Science Table, the children observed clear bottles filled with “weather” (cotton balls for clouds in clear liquid, glitter in blue liquid for rain, etc.). We also had a large white board with all sorts of weather information to peruse.
Highlights this week:
- Celebrating Jack’s ME Week and birthday – What delicious popsicles and thanks for coming in to read to us –Cheers to the Stanley Family!
- Music with Miss Elaine
- Lots of outdoor play, thanks to the warm weather!
- Great Math Bags from Audrey and Auggie!
- Rainbow snack (Fruit Loops)!
In Art this week:
- Rainbow art made with paint and sponges
- Umbrella art using cut and torn colored paper
- Wind socks–great way to observe the wind!
- Cloud creatures with puffy paint and (pipe cleaners, google eyes, etc.)
- Community Weather Mural
Literacy and math fun:
- Tornado rhyming group matching game
- Rainbow weather number hiding game
- Weather Letter sound identification game
- Group games on the rug (I’m going on a picnic, “Word guess”, Copy Cat game)
We had a wonderful, busy week! Wishing you all a restful, fun vacation.
We will miss you and we look forward to hearing about all the adventures!
Love, Miss Jan, Miss Dana, and Miss Karen
