Weather Unit

We have dived into our weather unit this past week.  We started off reviewing all the words associated with weather and then learned what weather is, exactly. (Weather is what the air is like outside)

 The kiddos have been busy in their Learning Logs documenting the weather each day, too!   Last week we did our first experiment, looking at temperature in the sun vs the shade.  You can bet they loved the "outdoor classroom" and getting to predict, observe, and record!

We also have had some exciting guest speakers this week.  I have had a few boys in my classroom asking everyday "when is the meteorologist coming??" so it was a great day when Dave from the Springfield NOAA station came in for a presentation.  We learned a lot about weather tools and weather safety.

On Thursday Meteorologist Abby from KY3 joined our classroom to extend our learning about weather patterns and how we measure weather.    I do believe the meteorologist visits were a hit!

Continue to include your child as you watch the weather forecasts or discuss what the weather is like today. Look for important words relating to the cloud cover, temperature, wet/dry or how windy it is.
