In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

The month of March is here and with it comes those unpredictable weather patterns as we leave the blustery, cold months of winter behind and begin looking ahead to the warmer, brighter days of spring!  The Kindergarten students have been busy using their science and math skills of observation, classification, comparison, data collection and graphing to track patterns in the weather.  The young meteorologists check the weather each day, talk about what they see and feel and then decide if it is a Lion Weather Day or a Lamb Weather Day. Lion weather days represent the more fierce weather days with gusty wind, rain, sleet or snow.  It is when the weather is cold and “roaring”. Lamb weather days represent the gentle weather days with sunshine, light breezes and warmer temperatures. It is when the weather is “soft” and “quiet”.  By the end of the month, students will be able to answer many questions about the ever changing weather here in Michigan!
