We've been having a lot of Spring rain lately, but the rain sure hasn't stopped us in Kitah Bet. Although it sometimes prevents us from playing outside, there are so many fun things that we can do, find, and see, when it's raining.
We opened up the window in the classroom during the rain, and children got such joy from sticking their hands out and feeling the rain. "It feels like cinnamon" Yaakov Meir said, and Sylvia said, "It feels wet."
One day we had quite the rainy day adventure when while playing outside, it starting pouring rain all of a sudden- and we all got soaked! Getting caught in the rain brought such laughs and excitements all around.
Another day, we walked outside after the rain had stopped, and we noticed there were lots of puddles all around. There was one puddle in particular that caught our attention- it had rainbows in it! The children were entranced by the beautiful colors that were reflected in the puddle and stopped for quite some time to just admire it.
On Thursday while playing inside, the children asked to go outside into the rain and jump in some puddles- so that is just what we did! This one was definitely one of our favorite rainy day activities.
When we go back outside after a rain, the children love to bring out some paper towels and go around the playground wiping up all the rain so that it will be dry for everyone. What great helpers!
We sure do know how to turn rain into rainbows- find the fun in everything and utilize everything is an opportunity to experiences new things and to connect to our environment and surroundings.
