Types of Clouds

During a weather unit, students typically learn about the different types of clouds they may see in the sky. This is a great way for students to synthesize this information. The work below was created by a 1st grade class.

Take pieces of blue construction paper, fold in half, and then cut within about 1/4 of an inch of the fold. (You will need to divide the paper into thirds and make just two cuts.) On the outside of the folded paper, students draw and label the type of cloud. On the corresponding inside flap, they "predict" the type of day you would have if this cloud was in the sky.
