Happy Friday and Happy May!
Yesterday was a crazy day for our first weather journal! Did you get caught in a thunderstorm?
My weather journal from yesterday is pictured below.

Today's task is to complete a second weather journal entry.
Yours does not have to look exactly like mine. The goal is to get outside and make good, detailed observations. Words and/or pictures are great. Make predictions or ask questions in your journal too. The more detail, the better.
Here are the weather journal guidelines:
- Please actually go outside for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Record everything you observe about the weather. This could include:
- Temperature
- Wind speed and direction
- Types of clouds you see
- If it's raining or sunny or anything in between
- Humidity and air pressure
- How the weather has changed throughout the day
- You are encouraged to use tools and technology.
- If your family has a thermometer or barometer, use them to help you record temperature!
- Weather apps are great and THIS WEBSITE from the National Weather Service could be a great resource.
- The compass on your phone could help you describe the direction of clouds or where the wind is coming from.
- You can set up your weather journal in a way that makes sense to you. A few examples are below.
- Both words and pictures are encouraged!
- Writing observations, questions and predictions are GREAT!
Please send a picture of your weather journal to Ms. Dolan: adolan@hccs481.org.
Have a FANTASTIC weekend!
