Weather (Sunny and Partial Sunny/Cloudy)

    One December 3rd, we started weather week with sunny and cloudy. We have talked about the weather everyday during circle time when we do the calendar activities but temperature was getting confused with types of weather.
     The main focus of this week was to determine the type of weather we were noticing and the temperature outside. This was a funny week to study weather being that was almost 70 one day and snowing a day later.
    The picture one the upper left was just the sun, or sunny. The students hand painted a circle then make hand prints around the edge for the rays. The students added glitter to make it sparkle.
     The picture in the lower left is what a cloudy day may look like. The students cut out the yellow circle sun and two white ovals. Then they glued these all onto the blue paper and added a few cotton balls over the ovals. We helped them hot-glue yellow pipe cleaners on for the rays.
      We talked about how the sun makes things warms or hot and how the days were getting shorter because we are getting less sunlight than in the summer time.
