Most students were accurately able to read the temperature on a thermometer, and understood the correlation between temperature and their lessons on weather. They understood, for the most part, that the small lines on the thermometer count by 2 degrees, and the larger lines count by 10 degrees. Some of the students struggled with determining which line the temperature stopped at, which made it difficult for them to complete the task successfully. ** Recommendations for future instruction for sampled students: ** For struggling students, I would recommend that students do extra practice work  both in school and at home. Flash cards might be a helpful study tool. I would also recommend just taking time and reading the lines carefully to ensure that the temperature is being measured from the correct spot. Review of counting by twos and by tens is also recommended for all students, regardless of ability level.
 * Content: ** Learning to Read Thermometers to Tell Temperature in weather
 * Grade Level: ** Grade 2
 * Objectives:** See lesson plan
 * Assessment Criteria:** Students were assessed on their participation, behavior, and ability to work in a group to investigate the problem.
 * Analysis of Work:** Overall, students did a nice job with the assignment.
 * Recommendations for future instruction:** constantly review temperature with the whole class. Keep relating weather (hot and cold) to how it would look on a thermometer. Review weather terms and degrees Fahrenheit with students.
