I will describe a day and you can hold up the appropriate cloud picture. The sky is very blue with a few puffy clouds. Tell your neighbor what you have learned today. Today we have learned that cirrus clouds are high wispy clouds that form in cold weather, show me. 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.
