Spring is an excellent time to talk about weather, as we see ALL KINDS of weather in spring! Just as the crocuses poke their heads up through the warming grass, we get an unexpected snow. We must leave the house each day with winter coats for the morning chill, a sleeveless top for the heat of the day and a light-weight jacket for later.
Students looked at weather in numerous ways by: cross-stitching a sunny weather prediction from the classroom’s weather map, placing the seasons in order with a friend, reading about storms, and observing the electrical power of lightning. Spring is a favorite season for many – and perhaps that’s because there are elements of each season within it. The oak leaves finally let go of their leaves, we experience frost and snow, we get lots of spring showers, and we have some unexpectedly hot “summer” days.
