Spring Series #2 - April 2010

Outdoor Hour Challenges - Spring Series #2 - Spring Weather Observation



We looked up our sunrise & sunset times at http://www.sunrisesunset.com/, and calculated we now have approximately 13 hours of daylight. You can get a monthly calendar for your city here.

We have had a wide range of spring weather . . .

Snow, rain, hale, sunshine, clouds, and lots of wind!!

Today is a sunshiney, breezy day - the kids have been so excited to be able to be outside so much. My little's are throwing tantrums when it is time to come in :(
We plan on putting together a shadow stick as described in the Handbook of Nature Study (pg. 852, #13), but we are waiting for our next trip to the store and then all we'll need is another sunny day!

  1. We have had spring weather like that too...one day snow and the next warm and sunny. I think we are now into our true spring season.

    Thanks for sharing your entry.
