Weather and Places
Children name kinds of weather and their symbols (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, windy, stormy) and learn to go indoors when they hear thunder. They put the four seasons in order and find out that some places are warm all year while others are cold almost all year. Finally they choose clothes for hot and cold places and read a simple weather chart.
