Eight pages of kindergarten weather matching, tied to NGSS K-ESS2-1. Students join five weather words (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy, Snowy, Windy) to their pictures, then join four of those words to the item they would need, such as a kite for a windy day. The last set moves to reading. Four short sentences like "It is snowy and cold." each join to a weather scene. The answer key lists every match by image number.
K-ESS2-1
“Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time.”
All three sets: naming five weather conditions, choosing what to wear or carry for four of them, and reading four weather sentences against scenes.
Students join Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy, Snowy, and Windy to a sun, a fluffy cloud, a rain cloud, a snowflake, and a cloud blowing leaves.
Four words, four things to take outside. Snowy goes with the winter coat and mittens, Windy with the kite, Sunny with sunglasses and a hat, and Rainy with an umbrella and rain boots.
Students read "It is a sunny day.", "It is raining today.", "It is snowy and cold." and "It is very windy." and join each one to a scene, from a child splashing in a puddle to trees bending in the wind.
Each match is listed with its image number, so a classroom helper can check a set quickly.
Weather word wall
Use Set 1 in the week you put Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy, Snowy, and Windy on the wall. Students see each word next to the same picture every day.
Reading partners
Set 3 needs students to read full sentences. Pair a reader with a non-reader and let the reader say each sentence aloud before they both draw the line.
One set a day
At eight pages the sheet is long for one sitting. Give one set a day across three days and check the last set with the answer key as a class.
