Where are the seasons?

On a different sheet, when we draw one. A season is a time of year, not a kind of weather, and putting winter next to snowy on one page asks a child to answer two questions with one word.

My child writes rain, not rainy.

Say both aloud: rain falls, a day is rainy. The bank holds the second one, and the difference is the point of the sheet.

How to teach this

Ask for the sentence, not the word: "today is windy". Then ask what the picture would look like tomorrow. Six words is a small set on purpose, so a first grader finishes the sheet knowing all six rather than half of twelve.

Watch for: Writing snow for snowy, or wind for windy. The bank holds the weather word, which describes the day, not the thing that falls or blows. Read the bank before writing. Writing a season. Snowy is a day and winter is a time of year. This sheet is weather only, and there is no season on it or in the bank. Reading the same picture two ways. Cloudy and foggy both hide the view. Cloudy is grey above with the ground clear; foggy is grey all around, and half the house has gone.
