C is for Cloud

With clouds I kept it pretty simple, just the three main types: cumulus, cirrus and stratus.

We matched numbers/words/numerals.
We made a cloud by microwaving half a bar of ivory soap.
We took walks and drives to identify clouds and played the 'what does that cloud look like' game. I was really excited by Peanut's imagination in that game. Six months ago he wouldn't have understood.

We read lots of books from the library about clouds since I didn't have any really good ones at home. And we watched the Magic School Bus episode on weather! 

For our display art we did a three medium picture for the three types of clouds: chalk for cirrus, paint for stratus, and 50/50 mix of glue and shaving cream for cumulus. (I forgot to get a pic of this before I hung it)
