Water Fun for Everyone

This week the Kindergarten classes will have some fun in the sun! We will talk all about summer weather and how to keep cool. We will use lots of water in as many activities as possible. You will see it in our reading, writing, science, math and art. We will even spend the day at the Algonquin wading pool for some water fun and a picnic lunch. Make sure you turned in your permission slip!

Monday - To start off our fabulous water week, we will spend the day (weather permitting) outdoors. We will set up the sprinklers and pools as well as some water games. The students will also get to do some ice cube painting. In the afternoon we will start to make some signs and plan for our lemonade stand on Friday.

Tuesday - Today the students will do some spray bottle art. We will fill spray bottles with water colors and let the students design their own paintings. We will also read the story, Clifford Keeps Cool. We will talk about the things Clifford does to keep cool and then the students will write about what they do to keep cool. In the afternoon we will continue to prepare for our lemonade stand.

Wednesday - Ms. Valerie will lead a science experiment using different sized buckets and water. They will also use water colors to paint a picture. In the afternoon they will sponge paint using different shaped sponges.

Thursday - Today we will be taking a trip to Algonquin Park to go in the wading pool and have a picnic. The bus will leave by 10:15 and we will return by 1:00. While at the park, Ms. Valerie will lead us in a game. The students will be divided into teams and carry water to their team's bucket using sponges. In the afternoon we will use wet chalk on the playground to make bright pictures.

Friday - To end the week, the students will make bottles of fun! They will add colored water, beads, glitter and other things to water bottles that they will be able to shake, rattle, and roll. We will also have a lemonade stand in the front of the building. Stop by and enjoy a glass if you have time!
