This lesson took place on 4/2/09.
After breaking the ice with the silly book, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, we read more seriously about rain and water. Together we enjoyed Down Comes the Rain by Dr. Franklyn M. Branley and illustrated by James Graham Hale. During this read aloud we discussed the properties of water and the water cycle. Afterwards, students illustrated and wrote captions for one of the uses of water on our list from the previous lesson and homework. With this, our first water poster was complete. Currently we are on Spring Break for a week and a day. However, when we return we will delve deeper into this study.
