Clouds


Our first science unit was all about clouds!  We learned about different types of clouds.  See below for a peek into one of our fun activities...we used shaving cream to recreate the different types of clouds!

Cumulus clouds are big and puffy!!





Stratus clouds look like a blanket!





Cirrus clouds look like a horse's tail!





Contrails are trail clouds!!

Math Centers

We love math centers!  The first set of centers we did was exploring manipulatives.  We loved getting to play with the pieces and seeing the different things we can do with them!
