- Draw your feelings weather (you can be in it too)

- What could change my forecast? Who could help?
How to run it
- Use it as a morning check-in or after recess.
- Model your own forecast first: “I’m partly cloudy because…”
- Keep sheets private unless a child wants to share.
Talk about it
- Can two kinds of weather happen at once?
- What helps a rainy day turn sunny?
- How can we tell what weather a friend is having?
