Cumulus clouds are puffy clouds that form in warm weather. Stratus clouds indicate storms. Hold up the picture that best shows today's weather. Develop a language arts center about clouds. Provide students with white construction paper and markers.
Children use free hand to draw a cumulus cloud.
The clouds should be big enough to write at least five lines. Clouds could be cut out and displayed on a blue background bulletin board. Provide writing paper and pencils. Have children write a Haiku poem about stratus clouds. Illustrate or decorate around the poem and display in the room.
