The Water Cycle
How fortuitous to be able to support this month's Four Winds theme AND complete our seventh Red Clover book of the year! It's hard to believe that we are winding down this incredible and inspiring Vermont reading program for the 2016-17 school year.
April Pulley Sayre's Raindrops Roll matches a beautiful collection of photographs with poetic text to create a unique, and well received, nonfiction story. To enhance the experience, we listened to some rain sounds while reading the story aloud.
After watching a short clip on the three stages of the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation) we then read Miranda Paul's Water is Water to see the cycle in action over the course of a year. By the end of the lesson we were all dripping with new knowledge on the water cycle!
