Week of February 19, 2018
Water
Enduring understandings that the
student should have by the end of the unit:
• Water is all around us.
• Water changes depending on how warm or
cold it is.
• Some things float in water and some sink.
• Some things change when you put them in water.
• All living things need water.
Lessons and activities for the week:
Blocks- Pictures
of bridges will be added to the center. Students are encouraged to try to build
bridges.
Pretend Play- Large
cardboard boxes will be added to Pretend Play for students to pretend they are
in a boat.

are invited to draw a picture with crayons. They may choose to draw an
underwater or rainy day scene. After their drawings are complete, watercolor
paints will be used to lightly paint over their crayon drawings.
Science- Students are
invited to sort animals into two categories: those that live in water and
those that live on land.

will be added to math center. Students will be able to match the correct
number of shells to a number card.
