Weather

By: Mallory Hart

Sun

• The sun shines in the sky.

• Sometimes it hides behind clouds.

• The sun warms the earth and can make us hot!

• We wear sunglasses on a bright sunny day!

• The sky can change colors when the sun sets late in the day.

Clouds

• Clouds can be different shapes.

• Some are light and fluffy. Others are dark and cover the whole sky.

• Rain and snow fall from clouds in the sky.

• Sometimes the sun hides behind the them.

Wind

• Sometimes the wind blows.

• It makes strange noises when it blows against different things.

• We can see the trees and grass sway.

• It blows the leaves off the trees.

• Windy days are great for flying kites!

Snow

• When it is very cold, the rain in clouds can freeze. That makes snow.

• Snowflakes fall from these clouds.

• It looks white when it covers the ground.

• You can build snowmen and ride sleds.

• The sun melts the snow.

Rain

• Rain falls down from the clouds.

• Light rain is called a shower.

• When it is raining hard, you will get wet!

• We use an umbrella or raincoat to stay dry.

Storm

• When it storms, the sky gets dark.

• You may hear thunder and see lightning!

• Sometimes the wind is strong during a storm.

• It is not safe to be outside in a storm.

Rainbow

• We see rainbows when the sun shines on falling rain.

• A rainbow is an arc shape.

• They can show many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and even purple!
