This month we are charting the weather on a daily basis. Is that old saying correct? In like a lion and out like lamb? Or is the other way around? We're going to find out.

Everyday we vote as a class. Was the weather more like a lion or more like a lamb today? Then we take the winner from the pockets on the side and pin it in on that day's date on the calendar.

These pictures were taken a few weeks ago, but so far, our prediction is correct. March has generally been quite lovely(think 40 degrees as opposed to 10 degrees). And according to the weatherman, we're going to have rain and snow these last few days.

Our curriculum's story of the week was "Alejandro's Gift" and set in the Sonoran Desert. I grew up there, and it is my personal opinion that not many places in the word compare in beauty. As such, I went all out with the desert theme. Hopefully, these Idahoans didn't mind.

Each student made their own saguaro cacti out of construction paper, then added tissue paper, cactus blooms and rice spines. Took them only 10-15 minutes.

None of these pics are mine. I borrowed them from the Internet.

Oh. . . our home! I agree that the Sonoran Desert is a beautiful place especially now that spring has come to Arizona. (I'll blow a kiss as the next catus I pass just for you :) Your projects look like lots of fun!
I love the cacti! It inspired my son's biome! Thank you so much for posting these! As a mom and a frugalista, I will be subscribing to your blog for great ideas to keep my little ones entertained.
