Download and print out the Family Connection letter to send home with children. Prepare a bracelet out of construction paper for each child. Write the words “float” and “sink” on the bracelet. Encourage children to use the bracelet to help remind them to find items at home to explore floating or sinking in the bathtub or sink. Have them tell family members what they learned about things that float or sink. Finally, sing “Good-bye to You” with children.

Good-bye to You
(to the tune of “Happy Birthday”)
Good-bye to you,
Good-bye to you,
Good-bye, friends and classmates,
Good-bye to you.

Together we played.
Together we learned,
And together we’re singing
Good-bye to you!
