As promised, here are the rest of the posters to complete your weather unit bulletin board {inspired by Dana's original design}.

The Weather Today Is...

We found some fantastic weather flash cards over at PreKinders that we think work perfectly for this part of the exercise. Not only did we include them in the design of the poster {they make an adorable border, don't you think?!}, your students can use them to compliment their forecast, Simply have them sort through a set of the laminated cards and use sticky tack to display the applicable conditions on the poster. {17" x 22" poster; best printed onto white paper and laminated}

Our Weather Graph

This vibrant chart will help your students keep track of the types of weather experienced in your region during the month {or other specific time period} - simply invite your kiddos to place a check mark next to the actual weather conditions applicable for the day. At the end of the month, you'll have a 'bar graph' that will allow you to compare the number of sunny days to those that were cloudy, which weather conditions were experienced the most/least, etc. This is a fantastic way to incorporate math concepts and vocabulary {i.e. more than, less than, most, least, equal to, etc.} across curriculum! {17" x 22" poster; best printed onto white paper and laminated}

Wind Direction & Speed

We simplified Dana's design for recording wind speed and direction, creating a poster that can be laminated and filled in each day using dry erase markers. Traditionally wind direction is based upon a 36-point compass, with wind speed intervals designated by symbols that contain a combination of long/short barbs and pennants {National Weather Service}. Should you want a more authentic approach, you might consider creating a large compass that can be laminated, as well as a key of wind speed symbols for students to reference, inviting them to draw the proper symbol with dry erase markers in the appropriate spot on the compass. {10? x 10? poster; can be printed onto any color paper; best laminated}
