In science, one of our learning outcomes it to document/record weather over a period of time. We would like to make a weather scarf to accomplish this learning outcome. In order to create a weather scarf, we will need to learn the skill of crocheting or knitting. We will also need either a crochet hook (preferably - 5mm or H) or a set of knitting needles for each student. We are hopeful that students will be able to borrow the required supplies from a grandparent, parent, etc. so we can create a weather scarf. We would also welcome donations of yarn to help us. We have some yard at the school, but will probably need different colours. If students could bring these things by Monday, Feb 10th, we can start our work next week.
We will work towards setting up a legend to help us with what each colour we use will represent. We will share that once we have it all figured out.
