Weather Report

Today students created their weather report and let me tell you they were excited!  The students scanned a QR code which took them directly to the story, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett. As they listened  I asked them to pay close attention to the meteorologists dialog as they reported the weather....Yes, I know Texas may have some wild weather occasionally but we don't have flying spaghetti, mashed potatoes and a course of meatballs three times a day!!
After a brief discussion about the story, students used the data they collected for the past week (temp., wind speed, cloud cover) to predict and create their own report.  The students then chose a drawing app to create a self portrait of themselves, uploaded it to ChatterPix to record their 'report' and then uploaded that to their Google Drive.  Lots of app smashing!
