Continuing on from last week, today we will be reviewing the water cycle poster and delving deeper into where water comes from this week. One of the areas where water comes from is the sky, in the clouds. Today we will be discussing the weather and making a craft depicting a cloud and some of the items that come from a cloud. Sometimes it rains, but it can snow, sleet, or hail. This week we will exploring different forms of water using weather. In the center, we will depict a cloud, with lightning and rain on opposite sides. This will help us remember some of the types of weather as well as some forms of water.

Art: Create a rain cloud and draw water droplets falling from the cloud.
