April Showers

We read about rain today - and mud, boots, and rainy day fun! Red Rubber Boot Day is by Mary Lyn Ray, who lives in New Hampshire, just like us! It told about a child having fun playing outside in the mud and rain. In The Rain with Baby Duck told a sweet story about a duck who didn't like to be wet - until his Grandfather had a great idea! Raindrops Roll by April Pulley Sayre was a nonfiction book, with real facts and real photographs of rain. After the craft, Emily read us a funny Mo Willem's book about Elephant and Piggie called Are You Ready  to Play Outside? Can you guess what the rain did in this book?

We decorated both sides of a paper plate, cut it in half, and made it into an umbrella. We added some raindrops, because it was a rainy day!
