Weather Wrap Up

We took it easy the rest of the week. We read these books. Tamarin and I are almost done with Twister Trouble. I think I prefer the Magic School Bus books to Magic Tree House, in terms of quality of writing at least.


We did an umbrella craft. Well, it was supposed to be an umbrella. The girls told me the coffee filters looked more like clouds so they wanted to make a cloud craft instead of mimicking my umbrella.... Okay.....

I made a pair of these. They are going to go into the car since we noticed this week that we get the most diversity of clouds while driving. The girls were bored with them at home. I think this would be a fun thing to bring on long road trips.

We didn't focus on their names or anything, just observing that clouds can be different and that they mean different kinds of weather are coming.

We've got some notebooks for journaling schoolwork, but I'm going to pull out one specifically for Tamarin to write our science stuff in. I printed these vocabulary cards (two pages to each printed page because that's a LOT of ink :p) Monday we'll wrap up our weather stuff and I'll let her pick a few of these weather words to add to her science journal and encourage her to write something about each of them she chose.

I had hoped to get to this, but I kept forgetting to have Chris bring home 2 liters: Tornado in a Bottle.
