Gone with the Wind and Weather

2nd Grade Pre-field Trip

 

Teacher Instructions:

Set up each discovery centers around your classroom (see set-up instructions for each center). Each center will take 10-15 minutes to complete. You can have students work cooperatively or individually on each center. You may need to help each group read and interpret the instructions.

For poor readers you will need to go through each station as a class. You can choose one center each day and work through it together.
