Weather
It was a very busy week in our classroom as we learned about weather. You should have found a blue folder in your child's bag that contains all of our "weather work." There is a weather graph inside for your child to track the conditions that they see outside of their window. (Of course, some of us are little confused from our dinosaur unit and think that a paleontologist tells us about the weather. Meteorologist is such a hard word to learn.) This is not homework, but it is something we do every day in class and they LOVE it. The other learning tools include a weather wheel, a weather flip book and a cool book about clouds. The water cycle is glued inside the front cover and I wonder if your child can sing the funny song that we learned about evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and accumulation? It is a catchy tune that always drives my husband crazy because once you hear it, you can't stop singing it. You might also want to ask your child if they can share the story about Randy the Raindrop. It is amazing how eager the children are to learn. They ask so many questions and are moving closer to kindergarten every day. Please take a few minutes at your house to review the activities from this week and ask your child to share what they know. Enjoy this beautiful weather and God's wonderful creation that abounds.
