What Is the Weather?

1Every one of these went up. Which sky?

Read aloud: The umbrellas went up, the pavement turned shiny, and people ran for doorways. It was warm, not freezing. Point to the sky that did it.

2The kites are pulling hard. Which sky?

Read aloud: The kites climbed without anyone running, and washing is snapping on the line. The sun is out too, but only one of these is making the kites fly. Point to it.

3Hats on, eyes squinting. Which sky?

Read aloud: Hats went on, sunglasses went on, and short black shadows appeared beside everyone's feet. Point to the sky that made those shadows.

4This is falling. What do you put on?

Read aloud: You are going out in the snow to build something. Your coat and boots are on, and your fingers are already cold. Point to the one thing you still need.

5Drops are starting. What do you take?

Read aloud: The first drops are landing and it is a warm day, so you do not need a coat. Point to the one thing that would still keep you dry.

6The sky went dark. What will fall?
