The Wonders of the Wind

Wow!!!! What a great week of preschool! Our theme was the Wonders of the Wind, so some of the children's Show and Tells began with W. Our first activity was a big hit! The children each got their own parachute (made from plastic bags) and then threw them over the staircase and watched them fall.

Next we made pinwheels! The children decorated a piece of paper, and Miss Lauren folded it into a pinwheel for them. Once they were finished, they held their pinwheels in front of a fan and watched them spin!

Then came snack! Everyone loved eating their clouds (popcorn balls)!!!!

After reading a story, Zoud the Cloud, and talking about how wind moves clouds, we played a game. We each got a "cloud" and straw to make wind with, and we blew the cloud across the room.

A little later, we made windsocks. The children enjoyed decorating them! When we finished making our windsocks, we went outside and ran around with them. We also blew bubbles (Thanks to Roxy's mother). We set up a fan and the children blew and popped bubbles.

Then we went inside, turned on a few fans, and dumped some little balloons on the floor. We also got out some airplanes and played until it was time to go home. What a "windy" day at preschool!
