[1]We can provide them with the slideshow titled 3pbl_climate&weather for them to complete this table

[2]basic: like "very hot; dry" or "very wet; hot) as shown in the slideshow

[3]oooh! love it! I was envisioning this:0 THanks

[4]This can be part of a class lesson, based on Lucy Calkins Bend 2, Lesson 9 - brainstorming a list of sources of information

[5]Also, Lynn is going to teach a lesson about weather and what people are already doing, so Ms Reed can be SOURCE for their notes

[6]This packet allows for four different sources. They need to know that they do not need to "complete" this...but that it is long so that they have room to put down all the cool info they find. We may not even have 4 good sources for each group, but I thought I'd put it there anyway.

[7]I am going to put together a slideshow about poverty. I don't believe kids here really have a concept of poverty, but it is important for them to know, or at least start to understand, how socio-economic factors play into why some areas are more devastated than others when extreme weather occurs.

[8]So great!!! This whole packet is awesome!
