Happy Friday!
We’re working on the weather cycle, so we pulled out the mini water cycle ziplock bag activity. Instead of having every child do a sandwich or quart-sized bag, every table actually worked on a gallon-sized bag together. By taking turns by calling the students’ colors, it actually worked really well as a collaborative active (See how table colors work in this Bright Ideas post). And the gallon-sized bags worked a lot better at showing all of the parts and the condensation.
We had fun practicing our patterns and in and out boxes with self-checking QR code task cards. You can find both English and Spanish versions at my TpT store.
It’s been the year of orugas (caterpillars) in our classroom, and one sweet student brought in a Luna moth caterpillar for us. The first day it wrapped itself up in a cute, little tamale! According to the internet, it will take all winter to make its transformation.
We’ve also been learning our clouds. We pulled out the shaving cream, and I learned that shaving cream is really hard to form into the shape of clouds. It ended up being a crazy mess but at least the room smelled good! We also used Expos to mark the height in miles of each type of cloud.
I LOVE Lita Lita’s science bilingual flip books. They’re great as individual activities or as inserts in interactive notebooks. Her Clouds Fold and Learn was a perfect addition to our cloud study.

Thanks for reminding me about the old shaving cream trick. I haven't had it out yet, and our tables need a washing– a side bonus of this sensory experience 🙂 See you around! Kathleen
