Our Weather Stick

In our classroom we have a weather stick. It has a thermometer and a rain gauge on it. Every day one child has the job of putting the weather stick outside the door for the day, then taking it in and recording temperature and rainfall before he or she goes home at 1:30.

Would anyone like to be a weatherman or weatherwoman when he/she grows up?

Every day this month we have watched the weather. We recorded whether it was sunny, cloudy, rainy, wet, cold, snowy or windy. We also used a thermomether to take the temperature at 1pm each day, and used a rain gauge to record the morning's rainfall. Today we made a tally of the different types of weather, then we made a pictogram of our results. It looks like this:
We had a chat about which type of weather we had most, least, what would our chart probably look like if it was a winter or summer chart rather than an autumn chart. We love recording the weather every day!
