Weather Genius Hour

Next, she counted how many syllables each word had

To brush up on her rhyming, I created a rhyming activity fo her to accomplish

We made rain sticks out of toilet paper rolls, beads, Saran Wrap, and bands to hold it together. My student and I then decorated our rain sticks with stickers

To help my student learn, I put together an interactive powerpoint presentation including videos and songs

I asked my student to create a coloring of a rain scene!

This was our first craft...Raincloud in a jar! I will be posting the video later

During each week I will post my pupil's progress by sharing their works with my peers on here. Starting Monday we will begin our first week which is...rain!

Hello everyone! This is my page for a weather based genius hour. This offers an opportunity for children to be more creative in the classroom and allows them to learn about, not just weather, but phonics as well. Each week we will learn about different types of weather. The students will be given a vocabulary list, a rhyming worksheet, and a worksheet dealing with syllables. Along with these, I will also present a powerpoint that explains what the topic is as well as what the vocabulary words mean. Videos and a song will accompany each lesson as well. To add the creativity aspect, there will be crafts with each lesson. Some the class will preform as a group while others I will allow the children to make their own creations. At the end of the work I will have a vocabulary test to show their improvement.
