Kidknows Outdoor Thermometer, plus a GIVEAWAY!!!

Happy Sunday!  Today is officially 1 month until I go back to school to start preplanning, oh boy! :/

I am not ready because I haven't done everything that I wanted to do on that original to do list! Plus, I visited Pinterest last night and found MORE things that I wanted to do!!

Last week I received a Facebook message from Daniela asking me to review her Kidknows Outdoor Thermometer.

I was excited to do this review because it is my first "official" one, plus it is a SCIENCE tool!

So I received the product and immediately put it up!  Installation, if you can even call it that, was simple.  You place the suction cups on the outside of a window, but not directly into sunlight.

(As you can see I checked the mailbox late at night! ;))

Then VIOLA, your kid does not need to ask about the temperature and what they need to wear that day!  I LOVE this thermometer!  During the summer I am a bum and sit around in my pjs all day.  Then when my hubby comes home we go out and do something.  I always ask what the weather is like and he usually gives me a numerical number.  I always ask, short sleeve or long sleeve?  Will I be hot in pants?

Obviously I am an adult and have problems with temperature, so imagine how a kid feels!  This thermometer right outside their window will give them some independence.

(The temperature showing on my phone at the time of the picture was 80! :))

Now what about a classroom?  This can easily be hung outside your classroom door to teach your students about weather and the proper clothing.  I know that in kindergarten and first grade this is a topic that they teach in Georgia along with the seasons of the year.

In the Upper Grades Classroom students are still struggling with reading a thermometer, plus associating the weather with their fashion.  In the middle of winter a student showed up in shorts and flip flops, maybe on purpose, but as a teacher this should be addressed!

This thermometer will be going outside my classroom as soon as I am allowed to go back into my room!  I hope to teach students how to read a non digital thermometer and also help with their fashion sense!
