day 1:
calendar and weather
books-
talk about water cycle, weather forcasting, what causes weather
language-introduce words for the week on chalkboard: rain, wind, snow, hail, storm, sun, hot, cold. sound them out and make flash cards, practice sight recognition. use "rain" theme from c.r. book to do word plays and finger plays.
math/science-match clouds with numbers 1-10 on them to clouds with corresponding number of raindrops.
if you're lucky enough to have a rainy day this week (we were) then put a bucket out to collect rain and measure it at the end of the day.
fill a jar with water and mark the water line. place it in the window and mark the water line again at the end of the week. review water cycle, evaporation, etc.
art-have the children create their own weather forcast for the week. help them separate a paper into 5 day columns and let them color, cut, glue, etc. what they think the weather will be like. compare to actual weather.
food-

books:
talk about positive weather effects, i.e. why we need rain, snow, sun, wind and how they occur. talk about how rainbows are formed.
