UMBRELLA DAY
Thank you for sending in umbrellas. I hope your child shared with
you what we did. Here’s a list of the activities to guide your
conversation with your child.
 Colored an umbrella picture and found the letters Uu’s.
 Listened to a book “Umbrella Parade”. Using the
umbrellas in the story, made subtraction sentences.
 Measured umbrellas with unifix cubes.
 Found out which umbrella was the longest and the shortest.
 Before placing all the umbrellas in a row in the hallway, students
estimated how far they thought the umbrellas would go.
 Counted how many umbrellas.
 Talked about when and where we use umbrellas.
 I sat on a chair and the students opened their umbrellas so we
were all under the umbrellas.
 Copied the sentence from the board: “We are under the
umbrellas that are up.” Underlined the U’s.
 Learned the chorus to the song “Singing in the Rain”. Worked on
sequencing with some fun motions. Motions: thumbs up,
elbows back, feet together, head up, tongue out. After each
time we sang the chorus, we would add a motion.
We had a great time with our umbrellas and covered a lot of
academics.
