Pledge/Weather/Calendar

Introduce Fundamentals

Purple and Brown: Find the color around the room

Diamond: Poem

A diamond is a pretty sight (pretend like your looking through binoculars)

It can sparkle and be very bright (flick your fingers like they're sparkling)

With a point at the bottom (put your hands together in front of you make a point facing down)

And a point at the top (do the same thing with a point facing up)

A point on each side (point to each elbow)

And that's where we stop! (put up your hands to stop someone)

AABBCC: We made the pattern with our color bears

7: Action Game - Follow the leader (The kids took turns choosing an action that everyone did seven times.)

Nn: Sign/Song

Song/Finger Play: 5 Little Kites

One little kite in the sky so blue,
Along came another, then there were two.
Two little kites flying high above me;
Along came another, then there were three.
Three little kites, just watch them soar,
Along came another, then there were four.
Four little kites, so high and alive
Along came another, then there were five.
Five little kites dancing across the sky,
What a sight to see, way up so high!

Fly Kites (the ones they made in the morning) and Play!

Wind Experiments
The kids had fun talking about wind and what it is and conducting experiments to see how they can use wind they create to move things around.  They used a straw, a paper towel roll, just blowing with their mouth and waving their hands.  They also had contests to see who could move something the fastest!
