When it Rains, it Pours

As a smaller third grade lesson, sticking with the theme of storytelling, I read the students one of my all-time favorite childhood stories, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. This story inspired our next project. With the weather being so funky lately, and seeing a fair amount of extreme weather happening all over the globe, I asked students to create illustrations of some wacky weather. I had students randomly choose a word from three different boxes marked: severe weather, themes, and settings. Students then had to create an imaginative drawing combining the three words.

Tornado, Desert, Theme: Flowers, Plants and Things

Tornado, City, Theme: Flowers, Plants, and Things

Hurricane, Garden, Theme: Insects
