Welcome to our week of learning about “Things That Fly!” This week, we explored various vehicles that travel through the sky, as well as living creatures that fly, including birds, butterflies, and dragonflies.
We read the Chinese books “好忙的小蜜蜂” and “小蜻蜓的第一次飞行,” along with the English books “Look Up High! Things That Fly,” “Where Do Jet Planes Sleep At Night?,” “Birds,” and “The Impatient Butterfly.”
We crafted our own paper airplanes, helicopters, and kites and tested how they fly, spin, and move through the air. We also made colorful butterfly collages, craft-stick dragonflies, detailed moth artwork, and personalized ladybug creations while exploring the unique features of different insects.
For our cooking activity, we prepared edible paints using milk and food coloring. Using bread as our canvas, we painted colorful designs, including rainbows, landscapes, vehicles, and more, while experimenting with colors and creative expression.
Next week, we will learn about famous inventors and explore ways to strengthen our creativity and problem-solving skills!
