Rain, Rain Go Away

This week we learned about rain.  We read several non-fiction titles to learn fun facts about rain.  We  read The Rain Came Down and made a class book.  We learned about the water cycle and how rain evaporates to make clouds (condensation) then rains as precipitation.  Listen to our "Water Cycle" song.  We did an experiment showing the water cycle using water, shaving cream, and food coloring.  Check out the pictures!



We read The Mushroom in the Rain  and talked about setting, characters, beginning, middle, end of the story.  We compared it to another story we read in December, The Mitten.  Ask your child to tell you how they are the same and different.

The specialist teachers (music, gym, art) helped plan a special event for PME.  We will be participating in  "Summer Olympic" games.  Each class had to pick a country to represent.  Our class is the United States of America.  We kicked off this event with a special opening ceremony.  We got to march in a parade, hear information about upcoming events, and see a gymnastics demonstration.  I will keep you updated on any medals earned by our class!
