Don't forget to take some time to marvel at all of the beautiful spring flowers that God has given us!

1. Identify, write, and name numbers to 40 with an understanding of what the tens and ones mean in each number.
2. Understand that numbers have order and be able to order numbers up to 40.3. Understand the order of events and the concept of "first".

Science
Objectives:
1. To understand how rain is created.
*HERE is a link to Lesson 14: Rain (optional). Please do the "Read to children" sections. The precipitation vocabulary card says "Precipitation is the moisture that falls to the ground as rain, snow, hail, or sleet". Experiments #1 and #2 look interesting. I have never tried them myself, so if you decide to do one or both of them let me know if they work well for you! Do the Activity section explaining how rain is created through the water cycle. Email me pics or videos if your child would like to present during a Webex call!
