Happy Sunday Everyone! I am linking up with the Collaboration Cuties today with their Mentor Text Linky! Today is all about the books we use for science!
My kids LOVE being read aloud to! I usually try and introduce a topic with a read aloud. I just used The Cloud Book by Tomie dePaola to introduce clouds! Its a wonderful book that talks about the types of clouds and even myths that have started from cloud shapes.
Of course I did not take a picture of the activity we did but I used Krazy About Kiddos activity about clouds!! She has the worksheet on her blog for FREE! It looks like this:
Enjoy the rest of your weekends!!

Thanks for following Brandee!! I love the Who Would Win books too! That is SO cool that he came to visit! How fun!
DeleteI haven't used this book to teach clouds yet! How cute and I love Tomie dePaola! Thanks for suggesting this!! We do a similar activity with cotton balls and this year we played with shaving cream (which was a huge hit with my 4th graders- who knew!)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up!

Thanks for hosting such an awesome linky Amanda! Shaving Cream is an awesome idea I had not thought of that. How can you go wrong with shaving cream? =)

Looks like a cute book. I'm a de Paola fan, but do not have this title. I'll have to check it out. Thanks again for sharing.
