    Day 2(March 18 due): Write and draw about how the wind was gentle.

    Day 3 (March 19 due): Write and draw about how the wind was rough.

    Day 7 (March 25 due): Write and draw about why Gilberto thinks the wind likes soap bubbles.

    Day 8 (March 26 & 27): 

    CULMINATING TASK (students will have two days to complete it, due 27th)

    Think about the experiences Gilberto had with Wind. Choose one example of Wind being gentle and one example of Wind being strong. Draw and write about each example by completing the sentence “Wind is gentle when ___.” “Wind is strong when ___.”
    Sample answer: Wind is gentle when it floats balloons in the air. Wind is strong when it bangs gates shut.
    (Students’ drawings should clearly match the writing. If students struggle with writing be sure to take dictation so you know whether they are at least able to recall examples of strong and gentle wind. Parents encourage your child to sound out their words, use punctuation, and spaces.
