Spring has been trying to move in during this past week. During the day, while the sun is out shining, the snow has been melting, but at night, the melted snow turns back into ice because of the temperature drop when the moon replaces the sun. On Friday, February 25th, it rained all day long but once it got dark out it, the rain turned into heavy snow. There must be a correlation between the time of day and the temperature by the way I am observing the snow, rain, sun and moon. I'm just looking forward to the warm Springtime weather during Spring Break next week!!
Since the temperatures outside have been very unpredictable lately, I have been relying on the Internet to help me decide on what to wear every morning. In my future classroom, I would like to incorporate websites, such as http://www.weather.com/, to aid in my teaching about weather patterns and weather observations. I could have my students watch daily forecast videos everyday to show them that the weather is constantly changing around us and how it affects people worldwide.
This week, meteorologists and farmers are having concerns regarding crops blooming too early in the Southern states of America because of the early warm weather they are having due to the jetstreams. The Morning Forecast Can Be Found Through This Link where I could have the students reflect upon the weather through this forecast website everyday.
