All About Wind

As you know, we have been learning all about the weather around you! My students can tell you all about the water cycle and can answer the question that they asked at the beginning of our unit: "What happens to the puddles on our playground?"

Today, we learned about wind and how it affects us in our day to day lives.  We started by reading the book, Wind.

We discussed different things that the wind can blow, and then tried to fly our own kites. 

As the students were flying their kites, they noticed that as the wind began to blow harder, their kites started flying higher. They said it was much harder to hold on to the kites when the wind was blowing. 

We have worked hard and learned so much during our study of weather!
