We took advantage of the sunny weather to play outside for as long as we wanted. The children were surprisingly inventive with their play, constructing obstacle courses, becoming mechanics and builders and turning over the travel cars, and enjoying their move through the morning. Wind week meant that we talked about the weather, and a friend brought in weather data from her home weather station to share with us.

| team work, |
The sensory table was full of cloud dough, a mixture of baby oil and flour, that had the addition of tools and animals towards the end of the week.
Our art projects were weather related also, with cloud paintings, "raindrops" painted with water, rainbows, and painting with our own wind power. Finally, at the end of the week, we added air to cream with a tool and our muscles to make whipped cream!
Until Next Time,
Michele
