The Water Cycle

We have been discussing the water cycle this week.  We have learned many new words.  We had beautiful weather and the children were busy outside doing some experiments to see what happens to the water.  They poured water to make a puddle on the pavement and then drew around the puddle with sidewalk chalk.  It didn't take long to see that the water disappeared.  The children were discussing how the water evaporated.  Ask your child about it!!
We painted the school with water to see if the water would evaporate.  It did!!  The children were using these terms: evaporated, liquid, gas, water vapour!!  WOW!!  Encourage your child to use these words at home too!
