Ecosystems

Last week, the children learned about the different Ecosystems.  They focused on the rain forest, desert, and tundra.

The Pre-K class learned a song about the different layers of the rainforest.  The children also talked about the large amounts of rain in the rain forest.  For a science lesson, they discussed using a rain gauge to measure the rain.  The children also made rain sticks to use during music and movement time.

 The children figured out the differences in temperatures in each of these Ecosystems.  They decided that the frozen tundra was definitely the coldest!  They named the clothing they would wear if they were to visit each one.  In the hot desert, very few plants can grow so the children made cacti for an art project!

Our letter of the week was "Q".  They made "Q is for Quilt" and yummy Cheese Quesadillas for a snack!

Such a beautiful "Quilt"!
