Clouds

We are learning about weather.  We read about clouds today, both fiction and nonfiction.  The fiction book we read was It Looked Like Spilt Milk and the nonfiction book was Clouds!.  We talked about how we lay on the ground and look at the sky and sometimes the clouds look like something else.  Then during small group rotation time one of the groups made ink blots using white paint on blue paper.  Next students told me what it looked like and I wrote for them.  Then they communicated their ideas by drawing what it looked like.  Below is one of my favorites.  This activity is always interesting to me.  Some students shock and surprise me with their creativity.
