Mrs. Redona and Mrs. Kutsunai along with second grade classroom teachers will team up to do a Weather Unit!  Students in second grade will use a special journal to show what they know about about weather. Students will use observation skills, and use primary and secondary resources to complete the special weather journal. During library visits, students will focus on using a variety of resources such as newspapers, encyclopedias, internet sources, etc. With newspapers, students learn to identify a headline, author of the news article, table of contents of a newspaper, etc. They especially get to know section A-4: weather. During science visits, students will focus on learning how to make good observations using weather tools just like meteorologists.

Let’s get going with your weather journals, use a variety of resources and use your senses for good observations! Remember to use the resource assigned for each topic. Don’t forget to turn in your homework in a timely manner to the right teacher as stated on the journal paper.

Here are some websites that you will find helpful. Ms. Vaughan, our assistant librarian, created a collection of helpful websites for our second grade students. Click Here
