What a weather week it's been! I observed sun, rain, hail and wind at my backyard weather station. What was the weather like at your house? Did you put out a jar to see how much rain fell? Did you go outside to splash in the puddles? Did you feel the wind on your cheeks or watch the trees swaying outside?
Did you make a calendar to track the weather? Here is a picture of mine:

I observed that the week started off hot and sunny and then it started to get cloudy, and then there was a brief storm with wind and rain and hail, and then it continued to rain, and now it's just cloudy. I wonder if it's going to get sunny again soon, or if it will start raining again. What do you think?
At my backyard weather station, I kept a jar to collect and measure precipitation. I collected 1 cm of rain on both Wednesday and Thursday. Here you can see the total 2 cm of rain I collected this week. That's a lot of water that's going to help our gardens grow!

All this talk about the weather got me thinking about a new word for our alphabet book. Watch this video to find out which word I chose. Can you think of any other weather words we should add to the alphabet book? Let me know in the comments!
