Weather Graph

·         Data:  If you started recording the weather every school day since April 28, you should have at least 10 days of weather data collected.

·         Organize: Deciding how to organize your data will depend upon how detailed your data is.

Example #1:  If you kept track of daily weather by recording- - sunny, sunny, windy, rainy, cloudy, sunny, etc.  You may need to create a four-column graph; one column for each kind of weather to be placed on the graph.

Example #2:  If you kept track of the daily weather by recording—Sunny, sunny, not sunny, sunny, not sunny and so on, you would simply create a two-column graph with the columns labeled sunny and not sunny.

·         Graph:  Once you have helped your child create the desired graph, go ahead and have your child place the collected data on the graph.  Assist as needed.

·         Using the Graph:  Ask questions so that your child can use the graph to explain which kind of weather occurred most often? Least often? During this time period.

6.       Bible Story:  Dorcas (Acts 9:36-43)

Memory Work:  Do not . . . forget to share with others.  Hebrews 13:16

Think About It:

     Read Acts 9:36 to discover Dorcas’ other name.  Dorcas was truly one of Jesus’ special helpers as she shared God’s gifts to her with others.  Jesus give us many blessings too.  He teaches us to show kindness and share with others too.

                Ask your child to show you how he/she would feel if he/she were hungry or cold or sad.  Then ask him/her to show you how he/she would feel if he/she didn’t know Jesus.

     Prayer:  Dear Jesus, there are many people who are hungry, who are cold, who are sad.  There are also many people who do not know about your love.  Please help us give Your love to them.  Help us share Your good gifts with them.   Amen.

*Remember, you can do a little or a lot.  These are suggestions to help your child stay on track for Kindergarten in this challenging time.  Mrs. Sistrunk and I appreciate any of your efforts.
