This year, World Water Day, landed on Sunday, March 22nd. It is the hope that World Water Day will raise awareness of the excessive use of water and decrease the population’s everyday usage. Here is a good example of how water is used in excess: The average American, taking a 5-minute shower, uses more water than an average person in the slums of a developing country in a whole day! I think a 5-minute shower is on the short end for most people. How long is the shower you take?

Today in library we read a nonfiction book about the "Water Cycle." The children then illustrated what they learned about the "Water Cycle" and read "Big Books" about weather. 

Watch the video below to help you understand how the water cycle works.
