Sunny, rainy, snowy, windy, wow!
Kindergartners become little weather watchers. They learn the names for sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, windy and stormy days, notice how warm or cold it feels, and record the weather on a class chart. They talk about what to wear and how weather changes what we do, like no outdoor recess in a thunderstorm. Over time they spot patterns, such as more cold days in winter. The click moment comes when a child looks out the window and announces, "It's cloudy, so it might rain later!"
Weather is right outside the window, which makes it perfect for little scientists. These are our daily moves.
Post the weather cards by your window and have a weather helper pick the matching card each morning. Kids read the word and the picture together. In a few weeks, they can read the whole word wall on their own.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withWeather Word WallWorksheetsOpen it →Play the weather song during morning meeting and pause when you reach today's weather. Kids shout it out and act it: shivering for snow, shielding eyes for sun. A song plus movement makes the words stick.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withWeather Song (MP3)SongsOpen it →Read a short weather passage together, then ask kids to tell you two things they remember before looking back. Pulling the answer from memory builds stronger reading than just rereading it.
Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

They learn to name and describe different kinds of weather, observe and record daily weather, notice patterns over time, and understand how weather affects what we wear and do.
Make it daily: look outside, name the weather, and add it to a chart. Use songs, pictures and dress-up to connect weather words with real life. At the end of the month, count which weather happened most.
Sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, windy, stormy, hot, cold and foggy are a great start. Many kids also learn rainbow, thunder and lightning.
Ask your child to check the weather each morning and choose clothes to match. Keep a simple chart on the fridge and look for patterns together.
