Let’s get started
Today we will explore notice changing weather through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Record sunny, rainy, or windy days with simple picture symbols.
- Try it as a team: Describe what happened afterward. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Notice one thing with your senses. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example
Record sunny, rainy, or windy days with simple picture symbols.
Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored notice changing weather. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Record sunny, rainy, or windy days with simple picture symbols. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about notice changing weather. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
