Another favorite weather book!!  
This one needs a few props, though. 
 An old fashioned overhead projector and cut out shapes, a block so the projector can reach the ceiling, lay back and pretend 
it is a warm summer day .......






Sometimes it looked like spilt milk...
Sometimes it looked like a ...

Great Horned Owl

ice cream cone

angel

pig

rabbit,
but it was just a cloud in the sky.

What a fun way to read a book!!

ipad fun!!





We are having so much fun 
taking turns using our ipad. 

Unfortunately we only have one ipad for all of our 46 Kinder Kids  and K Teachers to share.  In the pictures below the kiddos are matching letters to the sound the letter makes.   The app is called 'little matchups ABC Alphabet'.  I will be posting other site that are educational and appropriate as I discover them.
