Tessa learned how clouds are formed and the different classifications of clouds through a variety of picture books and learning activities. Many of the activities were a bit of a letdown. Tessa thought we were going to "cook up" a big puffy white cloud, not create a teeny puff of condensation in a jar. Hah!
- Read What Are Clouds? by Ellen Lawrence.
- Completed The Mailbox Investigating Weather, Grades 1-3 "Clouds: Sing a Song of Cloud Types" and "Cooking Up a Cloud" (page 9).
Wednesday
- Read The Cloud Book by Tomie dePaola.
- Completed The Mailbox Investigating Weather, Grades 1-3 "Clouds: Clouds of Foam" (page 8). (This activity didn't work as well as I thought it would. Perhaps we used too much shaving cream?)
Thursday
- Read Clouds by Anne Rockwell.
- Completed The Mailbox Investigating Weather, Grades 1-3 "Clouds: Cloudy Weather Windows" (page 11).

Following Monday
