Weather

The Purple Room has been learning about weather! Every day at Morning Meeting we check the weather by looking outside. We then figure out how what we will need to do in order to dress appropriately for the weather. Students enjoy dressing our classroom bear, affectionately named Barry, for the weather each day. They determine if Barry needs a hat, rain boots, shorts, mittens, snow pants, a light jacket or parka! We extend our learning about the weather by focusing our curriculum and stories around the topic. Here are stories we have read:
