The Wind Blew Read Aloud & Story Sequencing with Pictures for 1st grade

Since today and yesterday we’ve had the joy of experiencing 25 mph winds with gusts even higher than that, I thought it would be the perfect day to look back on last week’s The Wind Blew read aloud and weather science lessons from our latest first grade unit on Weather!

Wind Shared Research & Writing

During writing time, we researched wind on PebbleGo.com and recorded the facts we learned about the wind.  

Then, we wrote to teach about wind in our weather writing booklets!

The Wind Blew Read Aloud

During our whole group reading lessons, we read the book, The Wind Blew.

I just love this book because it’s so simple and so engaging. We read with the purpose of sequencing and predicting what comes next.  Because of the engaging nature of this story, the kids automatically start predicting which item will blow away next…even without prompting!

Then, for independent practice, students worked with partners to sequence the story and label each item!

This fun story sequencing with pictures activity, plus the weather words booklet can all be found in my store’s best seller, my Common Core Weather Unit!
