Weather | Assessment Review
Students review simple weather concepts and how water can change in nature through a hands-on, teacher-guided lesson. The class uses pictures, movement, discussion, and a short review activity to prepare for assessment in a very easy, age-appropriate way.

Show weather cards and ask students to point to the weather they see outside today. Model simple sentences such as, 'It is sunny today.'
Look outside, choose a weather card, and say or repeat the weather word.
Teach or review each weather word with a picture, gesture, and quick repeat-after-me practice.
Repeat words, act out weather movements, and match words to pictures.
Ask simple questions: 'What do you wear when it is rainy?' 'What happens when it is windy?' Keep answers short and supported.
Answer with one word or a short phrase and listen to classmates.
Call out a weather word and lead a matching action, such as arms up for sunny, finger raindrops for rainy, swaying for windy.
Move with the teacher and connect the word to the action.
Place picture cards on the floor or board. Have students help sort them into weather groups one at a time.
Take turns placing cards and naming the weather picture.
Ask students to draw their favorite kind of weather and dictate a sentence if needed.
Draw a weather picture and share the word for it.
Use a simple checklist or ask each student to identify one weather picture and name it.
Respond individually by pointing, naming, or repeating the word.
Review the weather words one last time and praise participation. Lead cleanup and transition.
Say the words together, clean up materials, and get ready to leave.
End by reviewing the weather words together, celebrating students' work, and asking them to show with thumbs up which weather they liked best today.
Teacher observes students during the review sort and individual picture check using a simple checklist for naming and matching weather words.
Draw the weather at home tonight or tomorrow morning and tell a family member the weather word using the class vocabulary.
