Weather Station

Welcome to our Weather Station. This is a spot on the front window of our house that CJ can monitor the weather. (I will hopefully be able to make the Weather Report Card available for you to download for yourself soon.) At the Weather Station she can monitor the temperature, and check the clouds and sky. Then based on the information she finds out she can decide what kind of clothes she should wear to go outside. This also gives her a chance to practice writing numbers. 

This has been a fun little activity.
CJ loves to record things on her Weather Report, especially if she notices a change in the weather.
The was really fun when it snowed. 

In addition it has been a great way to watch the transition between the seasons take place. 

The thermometer is a vinyl cling that attaches to the outside of the window. 

I bought it off of amazon for about $6. My only complaint is that it doesn't show all the numbers in between. But, we have used this as a learning tool, and just counted the tick marks in between the larger numbers.

We may have a meteorologist on our hands! Whatever the future may hold, we have a preschooler who is engaged and learning about her surroundings!
