We have chosen weather as our theme this month because of its broad popularity with teachers and students and because it directly impacts the lives of young students. You may choose to create a theme for your classroom that incorporates most or all of the activities or select just one or two to support your own curriculum needs. The activities in this unit support a variety of national standards across the curriculum.
Every activity supports a subset of the standards listed below.
Develop understanding of environments. Develop understanding of objects in the sky. Develop understanding of changes in earth and sky. This story can serve as an introduction to a unit on weather. It offers a metaphorical view on the changes in weather and wind that occur as winter ends and spring begins.
