That's the one! I remember sitting in front of the television or listening to the radio with my brothers and sisters waiting for the No School - All School announcement! Living in the "W" town our anticipation kept building and building after each letter of the alphabet. Often times there would be several commercial breaks which would produce loud groans of "Oh No" and "Not again! " There is something magical about a Snow Day off from School - UNLESS you are a parent.

The short version of CL-EV-R is for students to make a Claim, gather EVidence to support the claim, and explain their Reasoning for why the evidence supports or does not support the claim.
For this activity, I suggest using a dozen eggs, one egg per group of 2-3 students. Hand out one egg per team of students, or even one egg per student. Look at the class data. Like this: Diary of a Public School Teacher! 2 Apr Childhood, Where Art Thou?
