Weather!

Funny thing, our latest inquiry unit :)  We are learning all about weather!  We began by discussing the types of weather associated with the various seasons and found throughout the different regions of the world.  Then, we investigated the 4 major kinds of cloud formations and recreated these using cotton balls on paper. Two class books are in the works in which we practice our opinion writing skills by providing the reasons behind our favorite seasons and weather types.  I feel pretty certain that the children had a chance to look up at the sky lately and wonder, "Is that a stratus, nimbus, cumulus or cirrus cloud?"
