Dear Parents,
Today I introduced the topic of weather to the class. We are beginning the weather section in our science class so we first gathered around the carpet and discussed the various types of weather and seasons. I then asked the students what season was their favorite. All most every student said summer because there is no school, they get to go swimming, and they all like to eat a lot of ice cream. After discussing the different seasons we then explained the types of weather associated with each season. For spring the students said there was a lot of rain, for summer there is a lot of sun and its very hot. The students said fall was windy and the leaves change colors. Finally for winter, the students said there is a lot of snow. After talking about the seasons and different types of weather I showed them the weather predictability chart. Each day we will gather around the carpet and describe the weather outside. For example for today we would put up the phrases, it is cold, it is windy, and it is snowy. This activity will allow children to learn the different words associated with weather and soon they will be able to describe the weather each day on their own.
Sincerely,
Ms. Gammell
