Keeping a Weather Record

The little voyagers continue to use the worksheets in the Living Life Intentionally Weather Packet. Rosetta has become quite proficient at reading the thermometer.


As you can see here, she is recording the temperature twice a day.


She and Saralina are also graphing the weather conditions. 
(Sorry, this one is a little blurry.)


This graph is for the types of clouds they see in the sky.


This fun worksheet is used to illustrate the child's favorite type of weather, then write a sentence about it.

NOTE: I can see a few words in Rosetta's sentence that will be added to her weekly spelling practice!

I created a basic "weather words" printing practice worksheet for Saralina, using the ESL Writing Wizard.  These words can also be added to her "weekly sight words," and used for a weather-themed spelling list.

Rosetta's "weather words" printing practice worksheet includes a few difficult words:  Fahrenheit and temperature

Ideally, students learn and practice reading the temperature on a real thermometer. But for assessment and permanent proof of mastery, you might consider making these handy worksheets to keep in a student's portfolio or weather notebook:



These worksheets were created using the custom temperature worksheet tool on the SoftSchool website. The nice thing about using this FREE tool, is having he ability to choose the temperatures. For Saralina's (kindergarten) worksheet, I chose basic, round temperatures like 40 and 60 degrees F.

Rosetta, being in 2nd grade can do more difficult ones like 62 and 84.
Not only can you choose temperatures to show on the thermometers, you can also choose (fill it in) ones that just show the temperature!


Looking for a fun File Folder Game? FileFolderFun has one for 2nd grade called Whether or Not!  For preschool, they have HOT or COLD, which could also be used for kindergarten.
