Lines of Inquiry

This week we are learning about the water cycle. We read the book
A Drop Around the World and today the students were water droplets in a water cycle simulation. Ask your child what happened to them on their journey!
Last week we discussed the world's water supply. 97% of water is found in the oceans, 2% of water is frozen in glaciers, and less than 1% is available fresh water. We need to conserve our drinking water because it can easily become scarce! Come by the classroom and check out our ocean mural. The students did such a great job researching and were so creative making the mural!
