ActiVities
In the Air and Weather Module, you’ll find an activity called What’s the Weather? Students decide what the cartoon bear needs to wear to face the weather that day. You might ask,
• What is our weather today?
• How did you dress today so that you were comfortable when you went outside?
If necessary, review how to read a thermometer. At the computer, have children decide what the temperature is on the thermometer and how they would describe the temperature. Decide which description to use. When you take the bear outside, you will find out if it is satisfied with your decision.
