Rain or Shine!

We have crazy weather here in Wyoming. I am kind of not a fan, but I will refrain from complaining at this moment. At LEAST it makes for some interesting discussions and learning at preschool! Even though it SNOWED much of this preschool day, we talked RAIN! And RAINBOWS.

 Of course, we did a little cutting...

gluing...

 and painting while we chatted about what makes rain and rainbows.

The boys and girls are now experts about such things. They know that rain and sun are the recipe for a perfect rainbow and that the colors will always appear in the same, rainbow order. Good stuff.

  We also discussed the importance of rain and how it helps plants and other living things.

 We conducted an experiment and it is still in progress. Results will be calculated at our next preschool, science session! 

 I wonder what will happen?

 For some MUCH NEEDED active movement time (since it was snowing outside and cold) 

 we pretended to have a rainstorm inside.

 With a game called PARACHUTE RAIN OR SHINE!

 It was pretty well received.

 And then the sun came back out and we went outside for real, just in time to go home!

Gotta love the crazy Wyoming weather!
