We have been learning about weather and weather words. We've been studying this because our Houghton Mifflin reading theme is "Nature, Friend or Foe". Weather is also a Core Knowledge science unit for 4th grade. Anyway, everyone talks about the weather.
How do you feel about the weather? Do you like it best when the weather is sweltering or are you a fan of nippy days? What kind of precipitation is your favorite? Does stormy weather fascinate or frighten you? What forecast delights you? Which forecast do you dread? Write your response using some of the vocabulary from our Weather Word Bank
