Have students create a monthly calendar using the Print Shop Program. Students will chart the weather each day on their monthly calendar by drawing a picture, writing the word or both. This graph will show the different varieties of weather throughout the month. It will compare types of weather and how often they occur. Every day have the students draw a picture or write the weather for the day, on their monthly calendar.
Every day have the students mark the weather on their tally sheet.
At the end of each month have the students add their tallies and create a graph using The Graph Club program. Teachers will evaluate students by checking their tally sheet, calendar and graph. Teacher keeps a main chart for the tally sheet and calendar. If a student is absent they can record the missing information from the class chart. Have only one student each day check the weather on the Internet and share the information with the class.
