Weathering the Weather

...Not that there is much to "weather" in Phoenix (excepting summer, of course)! However, today is World Meterology Day and a great kick off to exploring weather - whether it's here in Phoenix or elsewhere.

This week, along with learning about weather in the classroom, students will be keeping tabs on the weather outside. They will be comparing the weather forecast (by way of t.v., radio and/or internet) to what is actually taking place over the next five days.

They will also compare our weather in Phoenix to some other spot on the globe and see if there are any patterns to the weather differences in two regions.

Experiments, discussions and readings in class are sure to shed some light on what is going on with current weather patterns (or maybe not...we'll find that out as well).

We will also be exploring our individual, emotional "weather conditions," seeing if we can make any "predictions," and compare those to our actual moods of the coming days.

Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
