Did you know a cloud is just water vapor that has condensed? Rain, hail, sleet, and snow all come from clouds! We learned about different kinds of clouds today! We saw some real live cirrus clouds in the sky! Sometimes clouds look like submarines, elephants, or even spilt milk. We played with “cloud dough” (flour and baby oil as a sand subsitiute) and we absolutely loved it! It was so soft, just like a cloud looks! We learned about the water cycle: Evaporation, Condensation, and Precipitation! We went and checked on our sunflowers that we planted in June, and they’re growing! We are thankful that God gives us clouds that bring rain so our plants can grow!

Although there weren’t a lot of clouds in the sky, we were able to look at pictures of clouds and identify them with our cloud finder!

We made books sharing what characters, shapes, or animals clouds look like sometimes.
