"It's Spring" internet project

We are about to begin our 11 week internet project, "It's Spring" on Monday, February 23rd. Our focus primarily is to calculate the daily temperatures around the country as we come into the spring season and see how the different regions experience Spring differently. We have been blessed with five other cities joining us here in Fort Worth: Albuquerque, NM; Galloway, OH; Holtville, CA; Waterloo, ON Canada and St. Louis, MO. Although our class has been involved with internet projects before, we are especially excited to start our own so we can coordinate this project with other homeschoolers. Homeschooling give the flexibility to do as little or as much as one wants to do, and it will be interesting to see how the different schools adapt this project and make it their own. As a way to keep some congruency, time tables have been established to help the schools along. Every two weeks an additional part of the project will be due. The first step is to notate the daily temperatures, the second step will be to find a book about Springtime that your class especially loves and read it, keeping in mind that you might be narrating it in the future. We have examples of simple poetry that is easily taught to this age group and hope that we will have many contributions to the Spring Poetry page. There is also a page for photos or for class art work on Springtime in their area. Creativity is the only guideline for this aspect of the project.
