We learned a lot about weather and geography from the experience.

Students paired up to read their thermometers. The temperature was between 64˚ and 65˚F.
The white ball registered approximately 2.5 m.p.h.
Although the air seemed still, we were able to get a reading on the wind meter.
The white ball registered approximately 2.5 m.p.h. Switlik teachers collected and shared the information. It was interesting to compare the weather and learn about new places!

Dear Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWe'd like to participate in this project, but our post was returned.
Anything wrong with address or this project is for the USA only?
All the best,
Your Russian friends
@ Lyudmila,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for letting me know about the email link! I was trying to take a picture of her email rather than posting the email to avoid her getting spam.
I reposted it. Please try it and let me know how that goes.
How great that you are going to join! It was a lot of fun last year...not only weather-wise, but geography was a big part of the project.
:-)
Your friend,
Mrs. Yollis
Dear Mrs Yollis' Class,
ReplyDeleteWow! We love your time zone clocks on your new page. Thanks for including us. The time needs a slight adjustment however as it is one hour behind our current time. This is because we have daylight savings for the summer at the moment where we put our clocks forward an hour. Daylight savings will end in a month or so I believe.
Looks like you're doing some fantastic work in third grade as usual!
We hope to do some blogging tomorrow!
Your friend,
Miss McGeady
Hi Ms. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteIn Canada we use Celsius(C°) so I don't really understand what you mean by 64° and 65° Fahrenheit. I never knew Internet Weather Day existed until now!
Sincerely,
Eric.
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI really don't like the rain, and winter, because I can never sleep. My favorite weather is sunny but windy. Thats just how I like it.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to our blog!
Normally we only get comments from humans and pandas, but recently we've had comments for canines and a fish. Glad to see the animal kingdom is interested in blogging.
Thanks for commenting!

Dear Mrs.Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI like your blog. I just found it through Anais!
I hate the rain. One time I did not want to get my paws wet, so I jumped on my outdoor table and went to the bathroom there.
Love,
