We were a little bummed out that our field trip has been postponed due to wet weather, but that didn't stop us from having a great Monday here in Kindergarten. I was proud that instead of letting the weather stop us from having fun, we ended up learning from it!
Every school day in September, we kept track of the weather. We read a weather sentence each morning, and the "Weather Kid" chose to complete the sentence with: sunny, partly cloudy, mostly cloudy, rainy or snow. He or she then filled in our weather graph.

Now that it is October, we are looking back on September's weather. We all got a copy of a blank September weather graph. I reminded the students of the number of days that were sunny, and they filled in their charts. We went through each kind of weather and recorded the information we had... We all decided that October should have more sunny days, if possible!
In other news, we had fun today at P.E. and Music, and of course in our classroom. The kids didn't seem to notice that we only had one recess today instead of three (shhh!) and they did a great job. We are working on a lovely poem about leaves this week, and pretty soon we will be creating our very own.. stay tuned :)
P.S. Our village green field trip will now be held next Wednesday, October 12, 2011. Make your calendars at home, and you know we will keep track of it on ours!
