PYP Sharing the Planet

I love The Giving Tree. For those of you who don't have your own copy... there's a really nice narration on youtube.
There's also a 25 minute video of The Lorax, which I didn't watch because it was so long but next indoor recess, that's definitely what we'll watch!

Check out our videos about natural resources.


Today we talked about the renewable resource, WATER.

Here's the adorable water song that I love:

The Water Cycle – Sung to the tune of O’ My Darling

Evaporation
Condensation
Precipitation on my head
Accumulation
Water Cycle………………

Now I start it all again!



Appropriately, today has been rainy so I'm thinking that for indoor recess, we need to watch the Magic School Bus episode "Wet All Over"


Here's an adorable little Tree poem.

Trees
by Harry Behn
Trees are the kindest things I know,
They do no harm, they simply grow
And spread a shade for sleepy cows,
And gather birds among their bows.
They give us fruit in leaves above,
And wood to make our houses of,
And leaves to burn on Halloween
And in the Spring new buds of green.
They are first when day's begun
To tough the beams of morning sun,
They are the last to hold the light
When evening changes into night.
And when a moon floats on the sky
They hum a drowsy lullaby
Of sleepy children long ago...
Trees are the kindest things I know.

Mason Moves Away is a great resource for talking about environment changes.
