Watch for our weather theme appearing here in the near future....                                                                                       (teaching in California prompts me to include snow activities in Winter rather than Weather...in the Sacramento valley snow doesn't happen..well maybe once in 25 years!)

Questions we'll ask: 

                                                     What is :  wind, rain, fog, thunder and lightening?

                                                     What tools do you use to measure weather?

                                                     What makes a rainbow?

                                                     Can we control weather?

Neato Books We'll Read!

We will  read our own  blackline booklet authored by Mrs. Goudie....
                                                       A Few Words About Weather.

Language Arts Connections we'll experience:

Under the Rainbow (tune:Up on the Rooftop) First comes the rain cloud passing by Dropping raindrops in my eye!              Then comes the sunshine up so high     Now a rainbow in the sky!                      Yea-yea-yea so who wouldn't go!        (author unknown)		Mailbox Magazine: Clouds Floating clouds up in the sky, Changing shapes as you pass by.   Floating by without a sound. Won't you come and touch the ground? Floating clouds up in the sky, Changing shapes as you pass by.
