What's with the Weather?

After capers the kids brought up how nice it was playing outside. 

"I wasn't hot at all!"

"I was like really hot."

"Yeah me too."

"It was kind of windy."

Some friends sat down and began drawing other kinds of weather they were familiar with. E started furiously drawing with the red marker. 

"Look! It's a storm."

"It looks like a tornado!"

"Yeah, it is a tornado."

"I can draw a tornado too! I am trying to draw something that sucks stuff in."

"Yeah, it's really strong!"

"I drew the ocean."

"Wow, it's bringing the waves here."

"It's a tornado in the ocean."

"It's a hurricane! It's something in the water that looks like a tornado."

"It's bigger in the ocean. It's the same size as a tornado."

B worked meticulously on creating small wave coming off of the swirl. He was careful to make each wave look like the last. 

V took the opportunity to draw a tornado too.  

"It's a tornado truck!"

"What does it do?"

"It's a truck for tornadoes."

"Hurricanes can be dangerous."

"Hurricanes aren't real! Tornadoes are real."

"No, they are both real!"

"Here are the clouds, it's raining. The red is the tornado."

"Tornadoes are actually green and hurricanes are red. If you see red, it's definitely a hurricane."

B created an elaborate picture containing all of the different weather the kids talked about. They are excited to continue the conversation next week and look a little deeper at some of the weather we see here in St. Louis!
