Storm clouds

Even though it's not officially spring yet, the weather is warming up and the snow is almost gone. This is a great time to spend a week learning about the weather.

This morning we made storm clouds. First we talked about storm clouds and we talked about what happens if you mix black and white paint. Once they had the paint mostly mixed I instructed the kids to cover as much of their paper as they could while I cut out lightning bolts and rain drops.

When they were done painting they glued the raindrops and lightning bolts into their storm clouds.

These will take a good chunk of the day to dry, then we will hang them up.
