IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Isai, one of our friends, brings the paper (the weather section) often into school and really is interested in all things weather and geography related. Yesterday during the day our friends were talking about how much it was raining! It seems that weather has been popping up over and over.

Before school, Miss Jeffrey and I talked about doing a few things in our classroom to see if weather would be an area of interest for a project. Our question of the day was asking if everyone knew what weather was. Then I asked our friends if they could show weather using the beautiful materials. After lunch we asked our friends to share what weather was, and let me tell you it was quite the discussion! We had friends sharing their knowledge of rain, snow, wind. We had friends talking about weather being hot and cold. We had friends sharing their knowledge of tornados and hurricanes. Tomorrow we are going to talk some more about what they know and we shall see if their interest sustains!

Today we put up our hundreds chart, but there were missing numbers!! We played a game called Find the Missing Number where the children could come up and tell us one of the missing numbers. We also talked about counting by 10’s because a friend noticed that those numbers were colored brown! They were proud of themselves for knowing so many of the missing numbers, and so was I!
