"March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb."
~Which means....March typically comes in as a cold winter and ends with warmer, spring like weather (because March straddles the winter/spring line). This saying doesn't always hold true for Cape Cod. : )
Activity: Weather Chart
*Create your own weather chart (to keep track of the weather). It can be a graph like the one pictured or how ever you would like to create it. Your goal is to keep track of the weather. At the end of the month. We will count to see how many sunny days, etc. If the weather on a given day is more than one element, include all the apply. (Most vs. Least or More vs. Less)
Outdoor Activity: Go outside and see what the weather is like. Are their clouds in the sky?
~some things to think about: What clothing do you wear when it is wet, snowy, cold, hot, etc outside? Does your attire change?
Another idea to go with your weather chart: Make paper dolls: design different clothes for your paper person. Have your paper person wear a specific type of clothing to reflect the weather for that day (or try using play dough, materials from nature, etc.)
Also, you can practice writing the different weather elements (sunny, rain, cold, hot, windy, cloudy, etc.).
Below are a few books to enjoy. Do you have any books about the "weather" at your house? Can you write and illustrate your own book? (Author writes the words & Illustrator creates the pictures).
*If your family would like to take a picture of you and your project and email it to me, that would be great! : )
