El Tiempo Hora a Hora

 El Tiempo hora a hora by tutiempo.net
  Not only can you get real, current weather conditions from around the world, but it is only in Spanish...so your clever babies can't toggle it to English.  It forces them to interact in a real-world way while getting information.  And, on the subject of information, students can see a visual representation of the weather, along with the temp in Celsius and a couple phrases about the conditions.  This has been good for my level one students because they can use those as scaffolding when I ask them questions like, ¿Qué tiempo hace hoy en Madrid?   Click on Astro, and you can then ask questions about the time of the sunrise and sunset. Click on hora a hora and ask about weather terms and times of the day. Click on the 15 días to ask about weather and days of the week. The date is also abbreviated in Day/Month/Year.
