 * __Student Activities __**

=**__﻿Monday: __**= ==** Today you are going to start by learning how we are going to record your weather observations on the computer. It will be something like an online journal except that it will be in something called a wiki. I made one for the whole class and you will be able to go in and type your ideas about the weather for each day. I have put you into groups today so that you can help each other and I will come to each group and help you get started! You will use this wiki the whole year to record your observations of the weather. You are going to have to record weather observations at least 4 days out of each week, however I would like for you to record something everyday. **==

Type your group name and the name of all your friends in your group and click: POST!
== Next your group will need to go to the window and look outside, what does the weather look like? Sunny? Rainy? Cloudy? Gray? Hot? Cold? Talk about it with your group and when you decide repeat the steps to post your ideas on the wiki! ==

__ Tuesday: __
== Today we are going to create something called a WORDLE. It is almost like a poster board made up of words on the computer! You are going to use all the words that we talked about in class that describe different types of weather and the seasons. You can use your notebooks where you wrote down all of these words and you can also talk about it with your group. ==

__ Wednesday: __
== Today's activity is very fun! We are going to be creating a cartoon on the computer! It is called a ToonDoo! For this you will need the same group name and password that you used for the class activity on Monday. You will also use the same e-mail address which was: scgraham@cox.net. ==

__Thursday:__
== Today we are going to create and a virtual pet called a voki! I have created a class voki that I will show to you tomorrow and every Friday for the rest of the year! Our class voki is going to talk to you about what the weather has been like this week! YES, they can talk! ==

__Friday:__
== Today your group will be going back and reading through your weather observations for the past week to refresh your memory of what has been going on as well as any changes! Then you will need to record your observation for today AND make a prediction for what you think the weather will be like next week! There are no right or wrong answers just make a prediction! Also, I will introduce our class Voki to you today! He will talk to you about what the weather has been doing this past week and you can compare what he says to your record and see if your were write! ==

== Once we have completed all of this I want you to write a post in your record on how your observations were the same as what our voki told us OR how they were different! You only have to type one difference or one similarity! ==
