__**Grade 5 Weather Unit**__ We chose to do a weather unit at the Grade Five level because of its cross-curricular properties, and its opportunities to incorporate technology. We all have different areas of interest, and this unit allowed us to explore those areas. Our unit on weather is as diverse as the weather in our province, covering the subjects of Science, French, Math and Language Arts**.** We have developed activities that will engage students and stimulate their curiosity. In completing this assignment, we gained valuable insight as to how technology can be used in the classroom. We will avail of our new skills and wealth of useful resources in our future classrooms.
