Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy, Hot, Cold, Freezing… the weather can come in so many different forms. This theme will help kids learn the characteristics of the many different types of weather. Lots of hands-on science activities this week, to help kids understand these complex concepts. NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum.
