Learning about the weather is more than just knowing whether to wear a jacket or pack an umbrella. It's about understanding the power of world around us and how it works. Kindergarteners at Hillsboro Elementary are embracing this exciting concept as they dive into a unit on weather.
These young learners have been busy observing the sky, noting the types of clouds, and testing the wind. They've even created their own "breezy buddies" – simple windsocks made from colorful paper. By observing how their breezy buddies sway and dance, the students learn firsthand about the wind's strength and direction.
By exploring weather patterns and making observations, these Kindergarteners are developing key scientific thinking skills, such as observation, data collection, and drawing conclusions. As these young meteorologists continue their weather explorations, they are building a strong foundation for scientific understanding and fostering a lifelong curiosity about the world around them.
