Watching the Weather

We are weather watchers!! Each morning, when we do our calendar activities, we discuss the weather. We go to the internet of one of our local television stations and check out the weather report for the day.

We then record the information on our weather board. This gives us an opportunity to discuss and compare the weather to the previous day.


I love that the children are so interested and excited about the weather. It is so interesting that they talk of watching the weather reports at home. It is also wonderful to see the children use weather terminology in their discussions.

The children record their entries in their weather journals each day. Ferguson is working very hard to get the information in his journal just right!!!

It is so interesting to watch them as they talk among themselves about their journals.
They say things like, "Today the high is going to be three degrees higher than yesterday's high". Or they may say,"Yesterday was partly cloudy and the forecast today is partly sunny". Sometimes I get tickled when they argue over the terms "partly cloudy and partly sunny".

One day last week Austin came in the room with great excitement. He said that he had to tell me something right then and it couldn't wait. He said that when we do the weather report for the day, we will be writing "rainy" because it was already "sprinkling" on Chestnut Road. What a funny thing for a little boy to get so excited about!!! I just loved it. It is moments like that, that make me realize we have make a great connection!!


Maddie takes great pride in the work she does each day in her weather book. Maddie is very maticulous and works very hard to get each detail just as she wants it. She can also strike a great pose!!! Looking Good!!!!!!!






Jazz works very hard to do her best. And her best is always wonderful. She has such outstanding work habits and is always eager to help others.
What a beautiful smiile Jazz has. It is obvious that she is proud of her weather book.


We Are Weather Watchers!!!!!


I wonder what the weather will be like tomorrow?
