This year we are going to be reporting and recording the weather each day. Show the children the weather graph and help them name the pictures for each category. Call on one child to give a weather report. Use a unifix cube to record the weather on the graph. Restate the weather.
Today is sunny and warm.
About once a week, record their estimates. Circle the highest and lowest numbers to find the range. Bring in the thermometer. Bend down a thin red strip of paper so that it is the same length as the mercury in the thermometer. Glue it to the monthly temperature sheet and record the number at the top.
