No matter where you live, there is WEATHER! It's real and it's something that children are naturally interested in.

Weather Words
Write weather words on a language experience chart and point to the letters as you sing.
*Challenge children to come up with synonyms for different types of weather. For example, sunny could be bright, hot, cloudless, etc.
Weather Journal
Staple several sheets of paper together to make individual books. Each day have children illustrate the weather and write descriptive sentences.
*Graph the weather for a month. Were there more sunny days or cloudy days?
There are several different versions of this you can download free off the internet.

Thermometer
Place a thermometer outside your classroom window so children can learn how to read the thermometer and judge appropriate clothing for outdoor play.
Wind Tester
Make a wind tester by taping a strip of tissue paper to a craft stick. Hold it up to see if the wind is blowing. What direction is the wind blowing from?
