1-2-3 Come Learn About The Weather With Me!

Do you include the study of weather during your calendar time?

The calendar offered me the opportunity to teach my students about the daily weather in simple, quick and easy ways.

My Y5's enjoyed dressing the weather bear according to what was going on outside with Mother Nature. 

They also looked forward to taking their turn to put the thermometer outside and then bring it in and read it to the class.

We did a variety of graphs, including recording the daily weather for each month and then making comparisons and contrasts to the month before.

Studying weather also built their vocabulary and helped them understand and practice using adjectives, so I decided to make a trace and write easy reader as a nice review of that.

Picture clues help students read the text as they trace and write the weather words.

I've also included a graphing extension, a data collection sheet of the daily weather for a month + 10 traceable weather-word cards and matching picture cards, with a cover to make an Itty Bitty booklet.

These activities make nice Daily 5 and word work lessons as well.
