Our co-op has mini members, too. They don't show up very often in the pictures, but I did get one sitting in our circle this time.
Brandy started her lesson by reading the kids this book about clouds and how they are made.
She taught about the water cycle with this chart and a song we sang to the tune of She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain.
Then we got to make our own cloud: boiling water, a match, and a bag of ice. The hot air in the jar and the cool air of the ice mixed to make clouds that we could touch with our fingers.
Next up, getting an egg into a jar, but not without wishing one of the moms, happy birthday, first.
The lit candles went into the jar with the egg attached. The warm air expanded, then as it cooled and contracted, the air pressure pulled the egg into the jar. Am I getting this right?
Time to get the egg out. This one didn't really work. We think the jar was too small. But it was fun watching Brandy blow into the jar.
Then we made cloud charts with cotton balls.
And we got to take home cloud viewers to decide what type of clouds were in the sky. Unfortunately, yesterday, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. Maybe another day.
