Weather pocket chart sentences

Looking for a weather activity that’s packed with learning potential? Try this one!

Grab this free weather activity for your young learners. Making pocket chart sentences is so much fun!

(This post contains affiliate links.)

Today I’m sharing a free set of weather-themed sentences that you can use on a pocket chart with your child or students. This freebie is part of our giant weather theme, which has a huge variety of literacy, math, and science activities for your classroom.

I absolutely love pocket chart sentences because they offer an easy way to teach so many things:

  • concept of word
  • we read from left to right
  • sentences begin with a capital letter
  • sentences end with punctuation
  • sight words
  • beginning sounds

All you have to do is grab the free download at the end of this post. Then print the words on cardstock and cut apart. Grab your pocket chart and a pointer, and you’re ready to go!

Weather activity: Pocket chart sentences

Grab this free weather activity for your young learners. Making pocket chart sentences is so much fun!

I like to put all the words in a pile on the table. This way my preschooler has to hunt through the words to find what he needs.

I told him to make the sentence, “The weather is sunny.”

Grab this free weather activity for your young learners. Making pocket chart sentences is so much fun!

This was very easy for him, as he knows the words “the” and “is.” He was able to find the word weather using the beginning letter as a clue.

He found the word “sunny” using the “s” and the picture clue.

After he constructed the sentence, he read it by pointing to each word with the pointer.

Next, I told him to make the sentence, “The weather is cloudy.”

At this point, things got challenging. My One is giving up his morning nap and is making it hard to do our morning work time …

So my Five made a stack of all the words at the far end of the table.

This made it very easy for him to build the rest of the sentences all on his own. He read them back to me.

After he was done, I asked him to find different elements on the chart.

“Point to the sentence ‘The weather is foggy.'”

“Can you find the word ‘rainy’?”

“Where is a period?”

“Show me a capital letter.”

“Show me where to start reading the sentence, ‘The weather is snowy.'”

How to differentiate and extend the activity

Using these sentences in a classroom? Here’s how to meet the needs of all your learners:

  • If some children don’t recognize words or even letters yet, help them construct the sentences in the pocket chart after other children find the words.
  • Cut the pictures off the words. Challenge students to find the correct words without the picture clues.
  • Construct the sentences yourself, but mix up the words. Have your students read each sentence back to you and fix your mistakes.
  • After you complete the activity, take the words out of the pocket chart and mix them up. Children can reconstruct the sentences at a learning center.

Enjoy!

    Anna;

    Thank you so much for continuing to share amazing ideas and printables with us.

    I am having so much fun with my 4 year old grandson printing and utilizing the free printables you provide. He loves doing activities and always knows I will have something planned for when we are together. The best part is, he is learning which he loves and in the meantime, we are having fun and spending time together.

    Thank you for all the great bundles and learning packs.

    I would like to purchase the weather unit – but i noticed that the price on the website is different from the price on TpT… is that correct?

    Kind regards
    Lyn

      Hi Lyn! The products are exactly the same. I charge slightly more on TPT because they keep a portion of my sales.
