Our Last Four Winds

This afternoon, our class participated in the last Four Winds lesson. Today the focus was on frogs and toads. Ask your child if they remember how to tell the difference between the male and female green frog. Hint: Think of its ears. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers that we had for Four Winds this year!

“Splish, Splash”

Today we started our final Science Unit: “Splish, Splash.” This unit will cover the following essential questions:

• How can we describe weather?

• How can weather be measured?

• To what extent does weather change from day to day?

• To what extent does weather change from season to season?

• To what extent is weather related to the water cycle?

During science, we brainstormed a list of weather words that can describe, precipitation, air, sky and temperature.

Our Favorite Phases of The Moon

Our artwork is complete and they turned out gorgeous! Ask your child what their favorite moon phase is?

Creating Artwork To Illustrate The Night Sky

We started the first steps of creating the background for our night sky artwork. We will be choosing our favorite moon phase to include into this as well as a silhouette of a scene.
