A reading adventure pack, featuring a fiction and nonfiction book focuses on the weather. Scholars read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett and Seymour Simon and then complete three creative activities. Participants craft paper dolls with a weather-appropriate change of clothes, cook pancakes, and draft an alliterative poem, paying close attention to the sounds of thunder.
