All words on the Word Wall

Talk together

  • What do you notice outside?
  • Which sky picture matches now?
  • What could be different tomorrow?

Get ready

  • Crayons, weather cards s1-weather, monthly page and a safe window; allow three minutes daily and 15 minutes for this lesson.

Safety

  • A grown-up stays close. Never look at the Sun; use hats, sunscreen and shade breaks. The adult checks surfaces first; do not touch anything hot.
