Before the break we were learning about different places people and animals live. We learned that people can live in boats on the ocean and that animals call the ocean their home. The ocean is made of water and covers most of our planet. Water is important because all living things need water but what is water and where does it come from. Water is a liquid, and it feels wet on your skin. Water is always moving through the water cycle. The water cycle is a cycle that helps keep water in different forms move between the oceans, land, and the atmosphere (sky). This week we will be learning about the water cycle learning about each of the stages of the cycle.

Music and Movement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM-59ljA4Bs&t=50s

Pretend/kitchen Play: Students can pretend to be a water molecule going through the water cycle. Help them to pretend to be collected in the ocean by rolling and laying down on the floor. Then use a hair dryer to blow warm air and tell them they are evaporating have them stand up as a water vapor. Then hand them a pillow to hold and tell them they are condensing and becoming a cloud. Then pretend to be the wind and blow them into the bathroom. Then give them a spray bottle to spray and let them pretend to be the rain.

Fine Motor/Manipulatives: use scissors to blue waves for the ocean water

Art: use watercolor paints or make your own by dipping markers in small amounts of water. Use the watercolors to paint an ocean (blue), sun (yellow/orange), clouds (gray), and rain drops (blue).

Science/discovery: fill a clear water bottle about a quarter full with hot water from the sink. Then help your child pour in some cold water and put the top on water bottle watch what happens in the bottle.

Writing: Practice drawing/ tracing circles and the letters c and o.

Literacy: Books- Sit with your child to look at books. Work on book handling and care, turning pages, attending to 2D images, and attending to a story being read to them. Work on picture identification and what and where questions while looking at books. Work on finding words that begin with the letter of the week /Cc/.

Yesterday we learned that there is a water cycle that keeps water moving between the oceans, land and the atmosphere (sky). Today we will learn about what is called collection. Which is done by run off from precipitation and rivers feeding into lakes and oceans. Water that collects in the ocean is called saltwater. The water that collects in lakes and rivers is freshwater.

Music and Movement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3iJjUKWrkk

Pretend/kitchen Play: Students can pretend to be at the beach. Put a shallow amount of water in a cooking tray or the bathtub with salt in it. Help your child Pretend to be a scientist and collect water samples from the beach in a clear water bottle. Then have them collect a small sample of fresh water from the sink. Salt water is cloudier when shaken than fresh water.

Fine Motor/Manipulatives: use aluminum foil and have your child squeeze it with slat inside to create pretend rocks for their river.

Art: help your child use a marker on a plastic bag or paper to draw the ocean.

Science/discovery: help your child use aluminum foil to create a river place some pretend rocks made from crumpled aluminum foil and salt in the bottom of the river. Have the river you build end in the ocean Use a bowl or tray to catch water. Then have your child pour water into their river and watch it flow to the ocean. Touch the water that is collecting in the ocean add a little salt. Encourage your child to taste the

water from their ocean off their fingers. How does it taste? (-Salty)

Writing: practice drawing/tracing horizontal and vertical lines by playing the start and stop game like freeze dance.

Literacy: Books- Sit with your child to look at books. Work on book handling and care, turning pages, attending to 2D images, and attending to a story being read to them.
