This lesson plan focuses on introducing toddlers to various types of weather, such as sunny, rainy, snowy, and windy, through interactive discussions, sensory exploration, and creative activities. The session begins with a circle time where children engage with picture cards depicting different weather conditions and participate in a read-aloud session featuring a weather-themed book.
As part of hands-on learning, children rotate through three activity stations: a sensory station where they create weather scenes using materials like cotton balls and felt; a rainy day play station with a spray bottle for simulated rain and floating boats; and a dress-up station where they can role-play different weather scenarios with props.
The lesson concludes with a sharing circle where children express their favorite weather types and celebrate what they created. To reinforce learning, a simple song about weather is sung, encouraging movement and participation. Follow-up activities include crafting a "Weather Wheel" to take home and planning outdoor experiences that allow children to explore weather in real-life contexts. The plan emphasizes observation, participation, and engagement as key indicators of the children's understanding and interest in weather concepts.
