💧 H2O, where did you go?! 💧
Our TK-2nd graders had a SPLASH today during our school assembly! 🌊 We learned all about Water Conservation and Aquifers through high-energy singing, dancing, and interactive fun.
From evaporation to precipitation, our little scientists are now water experts! Huge thanks to the “H2O, Where Did You Go?” team for making science so memorable and engaging.
