Weather This Week!

We have been getting some pretty crazy rain this week! I think it would be a cool idea to have our students try and monitor the rainfall on their own. We could watch the weather reports to see when there was going to be a lot of rainfall and have the students make a "rain catcher". This could get them involved in predicting how much rain there would be and they would feel like they were doing things all on their own.
