Reports Beside the Easel

A sky board stands beside the classroom easel. Esme puts up her teacher's sky reports. The teacher watched from one spot outside the school on Wednesday and Thursday. The school gate was on one side. The gym was on the other. Each sky check was clear. The teacher recorded the sun's place without looking straight at it. Children should not look straight at the sun, either. The class uses the reports to put picture cards in order. Then they make new cards to show what they think will happen next.

Sun records
Wednesday: Morning—low over the school gate. Noon—high in the sky. Late afternoon—low over the gym.
Thursday: Morning—low over the school gate. Noon—high in the sky. Late afternoon—low over the gym.
