This week we continued with our weather unit. We are becoming expert "Weather Watchers"! We keep track of our daily weather on a chart and research the temperature and forecast.

In Kindergarten we learned about clouds and the shapes they have. Look for our Cloud Shapes project hanging in the hallway soon! (Template courtesy of Made for 1st Grade Blog)

We played a fun game called "Fly Swatter" where the students competed to SWAT the word on the wall first. I would say a phrase like, "swat the season where the weather is hot" and the first person to swat the correct word would get a point for their team. 

Mrs. Haab's Class Spotlight:
Kid Quotes of what we learned this week!

"We learned how we can go outside to tell what the weather is"
"You can watch the news to learn about the weather"
"Clouds have different shapes"
"Clouds can look like chairs and cats"
**Next week's Web Spotlight is... Mr. Painter's Class!

We also had an unexpected surprise this morning, Ronald McDonald came to visit our school and teach us the importance of staying active and healthy.

One of Mr. Painter's students was able to be his magician's assistant and we even learned a new dance!
 
"March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb"

With the wonderful weather that we've had to kick start the month of March, I thought that it was perfect time to begin our Seasons & Weather unit!

Throughout this unit we will...
  • Keep track of our daily weather and temperature using our bulletin board
  • Learn how our seasons change throughout the year
  • Discuss the changes in weather and nature that comes with that seasonal change. 

I have gotten off track with my class spotlight's recently, so let's start that back up! This week's Web Spotlight will be... Mrs. Haab's class!

Our Seasons & Weather unit aligns with Kindergarten Science Standards...

SC.K:4-3 Name the daily weather.
SC.K:4-4 Describe the changes in nature throughout the year.
SC.K:4-5 Name the four seasons in order. 
SC.K:5-4 Describe the different characteristics of the seasons.
