What this lesson teaches

A weather report tells us what is coming so we can get ready.

Worked examples

Example 1

When rain is coming, we grab an umbrella and a coat before we go outside.

Example 2

On a very hot day we carry a water bottle and find shade so we do not get too hot.

Example 3

We check the sky before a picnic. Watching the weather helps us plan instead of getting surprised.

Practice questions

  1. Look out the window and tell if it is sunny, rainy, or windy.
  2. Pick the clothes you would wear on a very cold, snowy day.
  3. Ask a grown-up what the weather will be tomorrow.

¿Cómo está el clima?

El reporte del clima nos dice lo que viene para poder prepararnos.

Ejemplo 1: Cuando viene la lluvia, agarramos un paraguas y un abrigo antes de salir.

Ejemplo 2: En un día muy caluroso llevamos una botella de agua y buscamos sombra para no acalorarnos demasiado.

Ejemplo 3: Miramos el cielo antes de un picnic. Observar el clima nos ayuda a planear en vez de llevarnos una sorpresa.
