Weather, Capacity, & Hat Day

All week last week we learned about weather.  We began by building our weather vocabulary.  Throughout the rest of the week we learned about the water cycle, clouds, and storms.
 
On Wednesday, we learned about rain.  We began by reading the story, Come On, Rain! and then brainstormed words to describe rain. 
 
 
Next, we discussed some weather idioms.  We learned that when someone says, "It's raining cats and dogs," they really mean that it's raining very hard. 
 
Students had fun using raindrops with a dog on one side and a cat on the other side to create a bar graph. They dropped their raindrops and then recorded their results.
 



 
This week in math we learned about capacity.  On Wednesday students had a chance to measure the capacity of many different containers.  They filled each of the ten containers with cubes to see how many would fit.
 



 
Thursday was Hat Day!  Students had a lot of fun wearing their hats at school all day long!!
