Fall is hitting the Idaho Mountains with a vengeance. I am sorry to see Summer go, especially since Spring and Summer weather lasted a total of 15 weeks! This time of year, we get so many weather changes. We *might* get snow in the higher elevations! My first thought was to let the kids journal their weather observations every day... but being that The Bug is just beginning to write and the Cat is just learning to trace, I knew I would be doing all the work! Instead we made these "weather wheels" yesterday. I attached them next to the kids window so that when the blinds are opened in the morning, they can see what the weather is doing and move the arrow accordingly. We will still journal the weather through art on Nature Study days, but as for a daily task, I think this is much better suited to their age level.... and they already seem to be having fun with it.
Very cute weather activity! We may do something like that since we'll hopefully start getting something other than HOT weather here soon! I am so jealous of the awesome beauty and great weather of your area! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWe're getting cold too. Thanks for the reminder! We need to start our weather chart. It seemed pointless in the summer when every day was HOT! Cute wheels BTW!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through Babycenter. Very sweet! I homeschool, too, though I don't do the Charlotte Mason method. Mostly because I don't understand much about it. I will be interested in seeing how you do it!
