Take some quiet time each day.
Take some quiet time each day.
During this time, you might read, draw, snuggle a stuffed animal, watch a favorite show, or just lie down and let your imagination take over. Listen to... some quiet music, a chapter of Charlotte's Web, or a podcast (Wow in the World! for science; Stories Podcast or Circle Round for stories).

This week, children will take a close look at the changes they notice in the weather by recording the daily temperature.
They will also describe two signs of spring—changes in a tree’s growth and changes in weather conditions.
Lesson 1
Lesson 1
Record the temperature of the day.
Find a branch on a tree near your home and draw a detailed picture of it.
Please include:
size and shape of the branch
any leaves or flowers growing on the branch
any animals (birds, squirrels, insects…) that you see on the branch
What does the temperature tell us about the season?
What do you notice about this branch?
What is happening on it?
What do you think this branch will look like next week?
Lesson 2
Lesson 2
Record the temperature of the day.
Draw and write about the current weather condition.
How did the temperature change from the last time you recorded it?
What changes, if any, do you notice about the weather?
What is the current weather condition? (rainy, windy, snowy…)
What do you think the weather will be like tomorrow?
How does the weather affect the plants and animals around us?
