Sunny, rainy, windy, snowy fun!
Preschoolers learn to look outside and tell what the weather is doing: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy or snowy. They learn the words for each kind and start to notice that weather changes from day to day and season to season. A big step is connecting weather to their own lives, like wearing boots on a rainy day or a hat when it snows. Many little ones also begin to see that hot summer days and cold winter days come back every year. The best moment is when a child runs to the window in the morning and announces the weather report all on their own!
Little learners learn weather best by looking, moving and singing. These are the moves we use all year long.
Start circle time with the weather song, then peek out the window together. Kids pick the word that matches today. The tune gives them the vocabulary, and the window makes it real.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Look outside together every day and name what you see. Use simple words like sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy and snowy. Songs, pictures and dress-up play help the words stick.
Start with sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy and snowy. Then add hot, cold, warm and cool. Once those are easy, add fun words like foggy, stormy and rainbow.
Most three and four year olds can name basic weather when they see it. Talking about how weather changes and connecting it to seasons usually grows during the preschool and kindergarten years.
Make a class weather chart and let one child be the weather helper each day. They look outside, pick the picture and tell the class. Kids love the job and practice the words every morning.
