Kindergarten Air Unit - Air Crafts

Kindergarten Science Unit - Air Around Us

Air is all around us. Can you touch it? Can you feel it? Can you see it? Air is essential for all living things to breathe, without it we can't live. Is it windy outside? The movement of air is called wind.  Who produces clean air? The trees, so the more trees the freshier the air will be. But because a lot of manufacturer's cut down trees nowadays due to production of products like paper and wood, many mountains now are bald. Some tree areas we're cleared out to build their factories, which causes air pollution.

Lets read the book: Air Is All Around You (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1) by HarperCollins

We did simple experiments to show them how things move, the uses of air, the cause of air pollution and learn ways how to clean the air.

Kindergarten Animal Unit - Frog and Chick Craft

Frog and Chick Craft 

There are many kinds of animals in the world. Here are two farm animals we did Frog and Chick crafts. Frogs live in both water and land. They eat insects and move around by hopping with the sound "croak" or "ribbit". We also listen to the fairy tale of the "Frog Prince". 

Lets read one of the most famous books entitled: 

The Frog Prince by NorthSouth Books

Upon listening to the book they learn about making promises. That promises are made to be kept, be good to others, learn to share and not be rude.
