Wind and Water-Week 4
January 18-22
Theme – We are continuing our wind and water theme throughout the month of January. This theme allows children to explore wind and water using observations, experiments, and books to learn more about topics such as evaporation, weather, temperature, insulation, rain, and snow.
This week we are reading:

Small Groups this week:
*Where Are the Animals? (Math)
Students will learn and use spatial location terms such as; below,above, right, and left.
*Water Sound Exploration (Science)
Students will observe how water sounds when it is poured into various containers. Students will be encouraged to use language to describe how the water sounds.
