We've been talking about the weather and what a special treat it has been. The students have been learning about the differences between the cirrus and cumulus clouds, the different types of rainy weather (drizzle, shower and storms), and much more. Ask your child what he remembers about our class times. Give them this simple quiz:
What are the names of the clouds you've learned? What is the difference between them?
What is a drizzle? shower? rainstorm? How do they sound?
What is the name of a snow storm? For what is dry snow useful? wet snow?
What kind of weather do you find in the desert? What do the animals use to get water?

Remember all these things come from the hand of God. We're so glad we get to learn about God's awesome creation.
"By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew." Proverbs 3:20
