Hi Ashley,
I'm glad we were able to finish our podcast last week, despite the difficulties we had with the volume levels. The website project we are starting next week sounds like fun. We can look at other websites to get ideas and inspiration for our project.

My movie is still on the tools we used for measuring weather, and my lesson plan is about comparing the average amount of precipitation between our class and our ePal class.

Hi Ashley,
I will be doing my video on types of precipitation. This could follow my lesson on cloud types as a way to relate the two topics.
See you tomorrow!

Lesson Plan

Hi Rebekah,

My lesson plan is going well. I changed my topic to the four seasons. My students will use the hot list to research the four seasons and then they will work in groups to create powerpoint presentations to share with the class.
See you Monday

Weather Monitoring Project

Ms. Hoffman and I have decided that this school year we will be conducting a project with our class to help them develop a greater understanding for weather. As part of this project, we have included a map of all the weather stations in Kalamazoo MI. We will be comparing our weekly weather predictions and observations with the local weather stations to verify our results.
