Becoming weather experts

We are learning about the weather. What do clouds do, and what are the different kinds? We made a cloud in our jar. If we blow into a straw to explore wind, will the object move?

The book Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco tells the story of a little girl who is afraid of thunder. She learns all about thunder with her grandmother while gathering the ingredients and making a Thunder Cake. Our class made this special cake during the thunderstorms on Wednesday. It truly helped us not to be afraid, and we enjoyed every bite of this cake with the very special secret ingredient.
