Patterns with the Temperature

We enjoyed keeping track of the temperature every school day as part of our daily calendar routine.  Students checked the temperature every day, used the color-coded thermometer to determine which color link to use, and made observations about temperature patterns.  The students got really into it and were even cheering when their predictions were correct, when we reached our first "white" day (below 32 degrees) and when the temperature finally reached the 80s again!  We even did some graphing and comparing at the end of the year.
