Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Using construction paper, scissors, glue, preprinted labels, crayons and recording pages
have students fold a large piece of construction paper in half to make a book cover. Staple a stack of recording pages into the middle. Use scissors to cut out clouds, the sun, and raindrops, and glue onto cover. Draw in snow and fog. Glue labels as illustrated onto cover. Then allow students a few minutes each day to journal the weather outside.
*Segment videos are short excerpts edited from interviews or interactive programs that offer flexible and differentiated ways to use the rich content included in the full-length conversation.
