Flying Kites- Weather Unit

When studying weather we make kites. I have the kids decorate a large plastic zip baggie with a permanent marker and then I attach a string. When it's a windy day, we go out and fly the kites. Here are a few pictures of my kiddos trying out their kites.

Weather Unit


Here are a few things we did for our weather unit...

Weather Mural
 The kids worked on tearing tiny pieces of paper to create these pictures for the water cycle. Then they worked together to label the pictures.



Cloud Graphing
We graphed our favorite cloud after learning all about clouds.

Weather and St. Patrick's Day Math Centers

This is 2 weeks of math centers combined into 1 post. For the past few week we studied St. Patrick's Day, Weather, and Rainbows. Here are our math centers.

Ordering Pots of Gold By 5's
The kids cut out the pots of gold and have to glue them in order by 5's.


Pot of Gold Addition
The students used this work mat to add "gold." The gold pieces are actually just yellow construction paper circles that were cut on the Ellison press at school.



Rainbow Balloons Book
The kids had to read the words and then draw the pictures to match. 

Rainbow Order By Size Book
The kids have to write a sentence about something the color of the page. For example the yellow page would say, "The sun is yellow." Then, they had to cut out the pieces and put them in order to make the rainbow that you see below. 




Raindrop Addition
The students use this work mat to add raindrops (these are the glass decorative beads- I got them at the Dollar Tree).

Raindrop Subtraction
The students used this work mat and subtracted raindrops from the cloud. The picture you see here shows the alternate version of the subtraction worksheet for my students who are struggling to learn subtraction.


Umbrella Book
The students had to read the text, draw the correct amount of raindrops, and color the umbrella the color that is listed. This came from a Mailbox magazine from a few years back.

Order Clouds by 10's
The kids had to cut out the clouds and glue them on to a strip of paper by 10's.
