In
Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb
Incorporate a weather activity into your March lessons to
test the famous
March saying. Brainstorm with students what aspects of
weather determine
its ferocity or calmness.
After listing things like temperature extremes and precipitation types
and wind speeds, draw a calendar grid on the chalkboard or large sheet
of paper, then each day, make notes regarding the weather
variables. Review
from week to week, then do a final observation at the end of
the month.
Students can make graphs, vote each day a "lion"
day or "lamb"
day (using stickers or coloring with markers), write a short
story about
March including weather elements, have a meteorologist visit
the classroom,
or correspond with other classrooms via the internet to compare weather
information with them. Save your calendar for next year, and
you can make
comparisons from year to year.
