Four Winds!

Students enjoyed a great Four Winds session on Thursday morning--thank you Maura and Kathy! Students learned about the air and the many ways it affects the world around us.
This fit in nicely with our Solids and Liquids unit, since gas is the other state of matter which is not a focus of our unit, but of course is still very important!
Students enjoyed doing charades--this group showed how air helps birds fly.

This group showed how air gets trapped in a bear's fur and helps to keep it warm.

This group showed how maple seeds (helicopters) fall from trees and the air carries them to the ground where they can grow into new trees.

Four Winds always starts with a puppet show to help reinforce the lesson's theme. The kids LOVE the puppet shows!
