April Showers...

April Showers bring may flowers, right?  It has been super rainy here and windy.  What a great opportunity to chat about weather and why it's important during some months.  We talked about rain and how it waters our gardens.  We did some science and a fun craft.

First we talked about rain and clouds.  We did a fun science experiment where we took paper towels (our clouds) and poured blue water (our rain) on top of it.  It showed them how clouds hold the water and then it rains down on earth.  This experiment can be done with a sponge also.

They had a blast and each got a turn to make it rain!

Then we talked about things we like to do when it rains and in the rain.
