    I live in Michigan and we talk about the weather all of the time – too snowy, too hot, too cold, too cloudy….. I include in my Preschool Storytime a song about the weather at the beginning of the program. We chart the weather for 6-8 weeks, so we can see differences or how things happen to stay the same. I love “It looked like Spilt Milk”, it’s one of my all times favorites – so easy to do a flannelboard with this story. I look forward to exploring some of the other book titles you’ve included in the post.

    Thanks for sharing!
