SONGS
WATERMELON CHANT

First you take a seed and you plant it, plant it.
Then, you see a sprout and you water it, water it.
Then, you see a vine and you watch it, watch it.
Then, you see a watermelon and you pick it, pick it.
Then, you slice it up and you eat it, eat it.
If you find a seed, then you plant it, plant it.
And start all over again!
               
THE WATERMELON SONG
Tune: Frere Jacques
Watermelon, watermelon
Tastes so yummy, tastes so yummy.
Green on the outside
Red on the inside
With black seeds, with black seeds

Letter W

This week we focused on the letter W.

WINDOW
We made a window box and put flowers on them in front of a window.


WEATHER
We talked about the different things you wear in all kinds of weather.





WEATHER BOTTLES
You need empty bottles, blue dye, glitter and a hot glue gun.
I showed each child how the dye changes the water.
We added glitter to represent the rain.
 I hot glued the lid to the bottle to prevent little ones emptying the contents in the bottle.
You can image what kind of mess that would be!
The kids had fun shaking their bottles and watching the "rain" fall.


Continuing with the weather theme, we made umbrellas.
To make this craft you need coffee filters, markers, pipe cleaners and a spray bottle filled with water.
The kids colored their coffee filter any way they wanted.
The more color the better. 
We took the water bottle and sprayed it a little.
We added a pipe cleaner to make the umbrella handle.

Thunder, Thunder
tune of Frere Jacques
Thunder, thunder
(hit palms of hand on the floor)

I'm all wet, I'm all wet.
(shake your hands like you are wet)
