Introduce the lesson by asking students about the weather today. Have them describe the weather. Record their responses
on the board. Explain that the weather helps us determine what we wear each day. Then have students brainstorm different
types of weather. Create a weather word wall using the terms students use. Discuss how different types of weather relate to
the seasons of the year. Once students have described different types of weather, have them list different activities they
could do outside during certain weather/seasons. Ask students to describe what they would wear to do the activities.
