The students use these materials to document their observations of the weather. This year our class's calendar helper is our meteorologist. This student observes the weather and reports on what he/she sees. We keep track of the number of days of each type of weather on a digital slide. At times, the students document their observations on either the whiteboards or on paper, which is attached to their clipboards. We will keep track of the weather continuously throughout the year. \r\n\r\nThe students love these materials! For most of them, it is the first time they have experienced using either a whiteboard with dry erase markers or a clipboard. Just imagine the excitement of being able to use something new! They often ask each day if they may use their whiteboards. These provide a smooth writing surface which is easy to erase, so these young children feel more at ease in trying to write or draw on them. The clipboards are a \"cool\" gadget, which they find fascinating! I was pleasantly surprised to see that many of them figured out how to place the paper underneath the clip. \r\n\r\nAs the year progresses, we will continue to make observations about the weather. I wonder what weather patterns we will discover as the year continues? These observations will culminate in the spring as we delve into our specific weather and energy unit. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you for your generous donation. This has made a huge impact in my students' education. Being a Title I school, items such as these are not typically on our basic supply list, nor would the majority of my students' parents been able to provide materials such as these.","fullyFundedDate":1750362851968,"projectUrl":"project/yay-for-science/9319048/","projectTitle":"Yay for Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Edwards","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10013522_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753109114936","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10013522"},{"teacherId":9894403,"projectId":9382902,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation!\r\nWe all really appreciate your support!
