This morning for our weather study we read Water is Water by Miranda Paul, one of my faves. Then we practiced letters and writing with a worksheet by @habitatschoolhouse and a fun find and count worksheet from @magichomeschoolbus.

We decided to extend our weather study an additional week so here we are. Today we learned about storms.

• read Flash, Crash, Rumble, and Roll by Franklin M. Branley
• painted a stormy scene with watercolors
• completed a temperature worksheet by @habitatschoolhouse
• practiced letters and numbers with a few other worksheets

We are also diving into this weeks theme as well – Christmas Plants! So I plan on starting with winter trees this afternoon.

Still learning about weather over here and there is so much to do! Today we focused on clouds and wind.

• used the book Clouds by Mary Meinking and beautiful cards by @the.hidden.way as reference
• colored letter pages for CLOUDY and WINDY and pasted them in our nature journal, along with drawing a picture that matched and cut/paste illustrations from @magichomeschoolbus
• made our own cards with cotton balls from @magichomeschoolbus showing the 3 main types of clouds
• watched a video about all types of weather from Kids Learning Videos and another about floods from Peekaboo Kidz

We also completed a few worksheets to practice numbers and letters. After lunch we will do a few more things on my list.

It’s weather week in our nature study so we started with marking the weather on our chart and then Elliot finished coloring his weather wheel I got from @magichomeschoolbus. We then continued to learn about temperature, precipitation, clouds and the various types of weather…

• read Weather Words and What They Mean by Gail Gibbons
• looked over worksheets from @habitatschoolhouse
• completed a coloring page from @magichomeschoolbus
• colored letter pages for SUNNY, RAINY and SNOW and pasted them in our nature journal, along with drawing a picture that matched and cut/paste illustrations from @magichomeschoolbus

There is so much to learn about weather! We will probably continue this a little longer than a week.
