From our teachers' playbook

Sunny, rainy, snowy, windy!

What do 1st graders learn about weather?

First graders become weather watchers! They observe and describe the weather each day using words like sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy and windy, and record it on a chart. They notice patterns, like warmer days in summer and colder days in winter, and learn the four seasons in order. They connect weather to real life: what to wear, what we can do outside and how weather affects plants and animals. The click moment is when a child looks at a month of weather data and says, "We had more rainy days than sunny days!"

Our favorite ways to teach weather

Weather is right outside the window. These moves turn it into everyday science.

Sing the weather

Start each day with a weather song, then send one helper to the window to report. Singing first gets everyone ready, and the helper job gives kids real observation practice.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Weather word cards

Use weather picture cards to build vocabulary. The helper picks the card that matches today's sky and posts it on the calendar. Kids learn the words by seeing and using them daily.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Track it all month

Keep a daily weather chart and count the results at the end of each month. Comparing months shows seasonal patterns in a way no single lesson can.

Why it works: spreading practice out over days is one of the two most effective study methods in a major research review (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions teachers and parents ask about 1st grade weather

What do 1st graders learn about weather?

They observe and describe daily weather, record it on a chart, learn the four seasons and notice weather patterns over time. They also learn how weather affects what people do and wear.

How do I teach seasons to a 1st grader?

Talk about what you see, feel and wear in each season. Sorting pictures of clothes, activities and weather into the four seasons helps kids learn the order and the differences.

What is a fun weather activity for kids?

Keep a weather journal for a week. Each day, your child draws the sky and writes one weather word. At the end, count which kind of weather happened most.

How do kids learn to predict weather?

By noticing patterns: dark clouds often mean rain, and it's usually colder in winter. First graders learn that weather scientists, called meteorologists, use tools to make forecasts.
