You’ll find this song and weather graph in our “October Happies.”
Weather Words
Write weather words on a language experience chart and point to the letters as you sing.
*Challenge children to come up with synonyms for different types of weather. For example, sunny could be bright, hot, cloudless, etc.
Thermometer
Place a thermometer outside your classroom window so children can learn how to read the calendar and judge appropriate clothing for outdoor play.
Wind Tester
Make a wind tester by stapling a strip of tissue paper to a straw. Hold it up to see if the wind is blowing. What direction is the wind blowing from?
*How else can you tell if the wind is blowing?
How Can You Find Out?
Brainstorm different ways to find out about the weather. For example, look on-line, look at the newspaper, watch the weather report on television, look out the window, etc.
