What is Weather? What is Climate?
How are weather and climate similar and different?
We begin a look into weather and climate. This venn diagram shows what we think we know are examples of weather and climate are.
Our Next Steps:
- What questions do we have about weather and climate?
- What do we need to know in order to understand the difference between weather and climate?
- What can we 'say' about weather?
- What can we 'say' about climate?
Determining how we will answer our questions and share what we learn.
Picture Writing Prompt- Looking at Art
Students first thought to themselves about the image above. After a few minutes they shared what they noticed first starting with simple observations. For instance the truck is red or I see logs on a truck and a trail of animals. After this students began sharing what they thought the message of this picture might be and why. Some questions to prompt student thinking:
Why do you think that?
What makes you think that?
What clues are in the picture that you used?
Can you tell me more about that idea?
After sharing ideas students created a story plan for their own individual story. Stories were collected on Friday.
Friday Teachers - The Game of Golf
Our teachers (Ms. Hall and Ms. Leong) taught us the game of Golf. This game requires a little strategy and a little luck. For each hole we have to add up our cards to try and get the lowest score. After 8 holes we would need to total all our holes to determine the winner. We used our addition skills and tried to use strategy to get the lowest score.
