Perhaps I'm partial because the weather in Brussels has gotten so nice - it has been a warm, sunny weekend to end a warm sunny week, during which we went to the forest three times and kept our classroom windows open. I can imagine children photographing clouds, and using the photo gallery "Clouds That Look Like Things" to share their findings. What an amazing oral language activity, too, for children to have conversations about what they see and to talk about similarities and differences between the different kinds of clouds.
I think that cloud photographs would be a great starter for sketchbooks one morning - every child feels confident enough to draw clouds, and some children might even enjoy drawing an object as a cloud.
Ohhh...Allie I love this! We've been participating in a wind project with little success (we have little wind around here) and watching clouds could be a great way for the kids to notice the way wind moves the clouds (or, in their minds, vice versa). I can't wait to share this site with the kids this week!
