Read together

It is sunny here. It may be snowy somewhere else.

People wear different clothes for different weather.

Do it

1. Look at today's weather outside. Draw the sky.
2. With a grown-up, look at a weather report for another city in another country and compare.
3. Find clothes that fit each weather: a raincoat, a sunhat, a scarf.
4. Pray for someone who lives in a very different place.

Talk about it

• What is the weather today?
• What would you wear in the snow?

For the grown-up

Weather differs with place and season. Near the equator, many places have wet and dry seasons instead of four. Keep to safe weather. Dress children for heat, cold and rain.
