Wonderful Weather!

I hope this is post if finding everyone enjoying their weekend and the beautiful weather!  ;)
Our class has been enjoying the weather this week, too!  We started a project on weather with the question: How does a weatherman or weather woman predict what the weather will be like? 

So far, the students have made their own 5-Day Forecasts to figure out how their observations are similar to those of the meteorologists on KRCG!  We have also been observing weather using our senses!  With our clipboards in hand, and our senses active, we have become professional scientists!...or at least we feel like it! ;) Plus, we get a chance to get outside of the classroom and enjoy the beautiful weather! If you are outside this weekend, encourage your child to observe the weather using his/her senses.  
  • What do you feel? (wind, warmth from the sun)
  • What do you see? (sun, trees blowing in the breeze, clouds)
  • What do you smell? (rain, fresh air, grass)
  • What do you hear? (wind)
Happy Weekend!
