Activity of the Day: Weather

With all of the GREAT weather we have been having your children will have a lot to predict and record. Make a chart (make it look a calendar) and write the Days of the week at the top of each column. Then go outside every morning and talk about what you see, hear, and smell and how it relates to the weather. Then go inside and make a prediction with your children. Will it be sunny? rainy? cloudy? warm? cold? windy? Draw a picture of the predicted weather in the box under the column heading for that day. At the end of the day reflect on your weather prediction. Were you correct?

This is a great activity that introduces math concepts of charts and graphs. Language skills like prediction and reflection are also practiced. So get outside and be a weather person today!
