I Am a Thermometer by Rebecca Godinez

I am one who measures Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature.
I wonder what the weather will bring each new day.
I hear raindrops, leaves rustling, birds singing, and ice melting
I see different landscapes with the season. The sun's rays may shine or the snow may blanket the ground.
I want to let the world know how to prepare.
I am one who measures Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature.

I pretend to be a scientist.
I feel the rise and fall of the mercury in my glass tube as the temperature around it warms or cools.
I touch or sense my surroundings.
I worry that I will break if I am not handled carefully.
I cry when a child has a high temperature.
I am one who measures Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature.

I understand that measurement has truth.
I say each day brings new changes.
I dream of someone reading my numbered scales.
I try to count by 2's.
I hope to show data accurately.
I am one who measures Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature.
