Tessa enjoyed many hands-on activities while studying wind this week. She also made the pinwheel featured on Bill Nye the Science Guy on her own.
- Read What Is Wind? by Robin Johnson.
- Read The Wind Blew by Pat Hutchins.
- Completed The Mailbox Investigating Weather, Grades 1-3 "Wind: Creating Artificial Wind" (page 20).
- Watched Bill Nye the Science Guy: Wind DVD by Disney.
Tuesday
- Read The Magic School Bus Rides the Wind by Anne Capeci.
- Completed The Mailbox Investigating Weather, Grades 1-3 "Wind: Windy Matchup" (page 22).
- Completed "Wind Vane for Kids" from education.com. (There is a weather vane activity in The Mailbox Investigating Weather, Grades 1-3, but I liked this one better.)
 |
| We quickly ran outside to test our weather vane. Luckily, the day was breezy and it worked! |
Wednesday
- Read Feel the Wind by Arthur Dorros.
- Completed The Mailbox Investigating Weather, Grades 1-3 "Wind: Wonderful Windsocks" (page 23).
 |
| We have a ton of washable markers, but none besides black that are permanent. So, instead of drawing designs onto a plastic bag as directed in "Wonderful Windsocks," we used a really cute bag with lime green polka dots that I had stashed away. Tessa cut the fringe and helped me assemble the windsock. |
 |
| The day was mild and there was a nice breeze, so Tessa had a wonderful time flying her windsock like a kite. It work well when we hung it on a post to tell wind direction too! |
Friday
- Tessa read Wind by Marion Dane Bauer during reading.
