More Weather With Whales

The Whales got to experience a truly wacky weather week as they continued to hone their skills as meteorologists. We saw everything from hail, snow, wind and rain, to bright sunny skies! The Whales spent time learning about anemometers and worked to classify different strengths of wind. They learned all about what makes thunder and lightning, and they made thunder and lightning in the classroom. It was crazy-good fun! To celebrate learning about extreme weather, we participated in a shared reading by Patricia Palacco called Thundercake and then we made Thundercake with Ms. Abby. It was delicious!

In addition to giving a daily weather report to the other classrooms in the ELC, the Whales have been busy noticing signs of spring - even in the midst of snow!
