Lesson Extras and Ideas: January Weather Watcher's Lesson Plan

The January Weather Watcher's Lesson Plan is posted on TeachersPayTeachers.com/Store/Rachael-Redd, with previews there and at Facebook.com/MrsReddsClassroom.

The lesson is in ebook form, so you can keep it digital or print it for your Weather Watcher's Binder.  It has everything you need to get started weather watching in 2013.  You also get the January Primary Lined Weather Journal Paper and Weather Word Cutouts which are ONLY available inside the lesson.  I added a list of ideas to get your creative juices flowing, and I will be adding more ideas on here so check back often.  Feel free to comment with your own ideas, pictures and questions!

Happy Homeschooling!
