I also wanted to share this Water Cycle poem with you. I don't know where I got the poem from and neither do a bunch of other teachers because I googled it. I'm sure you've heard it before but I just wanted to make a cute copy for my students Pirate Poetry notebooks. The song is sung to She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain.
Water travels in a cycle, yes it does!
(Use pointer finger to draw a circle in the air.)
Water travels in a cycle, yes it does!
(Keep drawing a circle.)
It goes up as evaporation,
(Raise arms with palms up.)
Forms cloud of condensation,
(Bring hands together to shape a cloud.)
Then comes down as precipitation,
(Slowly sprinkle your fingers and hands down like rain.)
Yes it does!Hope you are having a wonderful 3 day weekend because of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I have Monday off for MLK day and then the children only come to school 3 days next week. We have a teacher workday on Friday because report cards come out the following week. I will only be with my kids 2 days this week because I'm going to a district reading coach meeting with my reading coach as temporary duty day! Yeah! I'm so excited but a little sad to leave my students behind. I've already set up a sub but still need to make those pesky lesson plans. Friday I plan on de-cluttering a lot of my room on my teacher workday because we actually have to work. Most of the time if we have report cards done we are not require to come into work. We have to come into work on Friday though but at least we get an hour and a half break for lunch. Thanks for being followers! Stay cozy and warm my friends!
