Religion:

• Pope Francis has written a special prayer to the Blessed Mother asking for her help with the whole world as we all deal with  the terrible Corona Virus together. On this link is a special picture of Mary to go along with the prayer. Download the picture to color and pray with your family. We are all in this together, let's ask God and Mary to continue to watch over and protect us all.  https://www.catholicartworks.com/specials.htm

Science:

• Today, you are going to learn about clouds. Clouds are made up of tiny drops of water or ice. There are 3 types of clouds. They are called cumulus, stratus, and cirrus. 
• Watch these two videos to learn more about them.

• Epic Books has quite a few books about clouds. Check them out!

• Can you read the sky? I would like you to be a cloud watcher and go outside to see what kinds of clouds you see in the sky! When you are done, draw and label a picture of the type of clouds that you see in the sky.

Cirrus Clouds – High, curly, wispy, feathery white clouds made of ice and usually found on fair days. Some people think they look like " a horse's tail". That's what their name Cirrus means, "horse's tail". Cirrus clouds usually mean good weather.

Stratus Clouds – Layered grey clouds that block the sun, sometimes covering the whole sky and may bring rain or snow. These clouds are very close to the ground. Stratus clouds often mean that rain is coming.

Cumulus Clouds – Low hanging, white, puffy clouds which change shape very quickly and are found on warm, sunny days. They remind me of cotton balls. Do you think the cumulus clouds are shaped like anything? 

Enjoy being a Wednesday Weather Watcher!
