What is weather?

This morning students edited and finished their “What I Want to Learn in Grade 4” writing entry.
In Science, we worked with partners or groups of 3 to read about what weather is. We shared our findings and started a comparison chart to differentiate weather and climate. Early finishers for the weather part of the chart started a title page for our weather unit. Students were also introduced to our school’s weather station (http://www.victoriaweather.ca/station.php?id=16) and the weather reader in our classroom. Students will be recording data and analyzing the conditions in the next few weeks. We looked at an overview for our weather unit and watched a sample video of our unit’s final project. In small groups, students will write a script, use props, tape (video) a weather report about an extreme weather system, and then present it to the class. More details about the project will be provided later.
I read aloud from Shipwreck and then students caught up on unfinished work that is due today. 3 students haven't finished their Fall Tree art project yet.
We had a busy morning and students were very productive J
