Wear? Poster and Magnets Set
Before displaying the What Should Teddy Bear Wear? Poster
and Magnets Set, make copies of this Really Good Stuff®
Activity Guide, cut apart the reproducibles, and file the pages
for future use. Or, download another copy of it from our Web
site at www.reallygoodstuff.com. Display the What Should
Teddy Bear Wear? Poster where the students will be able to see
and interact with it easily. Punch out the Magnets and stage
them in the closet on the Poster, either choosing a few
Magnets for the current season or placing all of them on the
Poster. Store any Magnets you aren’t using in a zippered
plastic bag.
Introducing the What Should Teddy Bear Wear? Poster and
Magnets Set
Gather students by a window and ask them what the word
weather means. After students respond, explain that we use
the word weather to describe what it is like outside and ask
students what the weather felt like on their way to school. Tell
students that you are going to be discussing the weather
every day with a new friend and show them the What Should
Teddy Bear Wear? Poster and Magnets. Introduce Teddy Bear
and indicate that as a group you are going to help him dress
every day depending on the weather each day.
Familiarize students with the types of weather conditions by
pointing to each condition on the Poster and asking students
to tell you something about each one. For instance, as you
point to windy, a student might share that a windy day blows
his or her hair around or that it is a good day to fly a kite.
After introducing each type of weather, show students the
clothing Magnets in the closet on the Poster and remind
students that people wear different types of clothing for
different types of weather. Indicate that their job is to be sure
that Teddy Bear wears the right clothing for the type of
weather each day.
Choose a student to go to the door or window to observe the
weather and tell the class what he or she saw. Give the
student a dry erase marker and have him or her circle the
correct weather conditions on the Poster, then have the
student choose the appropriate clothing Magnets from the
closet and dress Teddy Bear. Each day, choose a different child

to observe the weather, circle the weather conditions, and
dress the bear. At the end of each day, remove the Magnets
from Teddy Bear and restage them in the closet for the next
day. Copy the What Should Teddy Bear Wear? Tracking Sheet
Reproducible, fill in your students’ names, and place it in a
folder to help you make sure each student has a turn circling
weather conditions and dressing the bear.
Singing the Weather
Copy and distribute the Teddy Bear Weather Song
Reproducible. Tell students that you have a song to help
everyone decide what the weather is and how to dress the
Teddy Bear each day. Together, sing the “Teddy Bear Weather
Song” to the tune of “London Bridge Is Falling Down.”

Sing the song each day before students circle weather

their reproducibles and display them around the Poster or have
students take them home to share with their families.
Take a Guess!
Help students recognize weather condition words and
encourage students to use these words more frequently: Copy
and distribute the Name the Weather Reproducible. Have
students answer each question independently by looking at the
picture in each box, using the word bank to find the correct
weather word to go with the picture, and writing that word on
the line in the box. Display students’ completed papers around
the Poster.
Graphing the Weather
Make copies of the Graphing Our Weather Conditions This Week
Reproducible for students. At the beginning of each week,
distribute the reproducibles and have students color in the
sections on the bar graph to show weather conditions for the
week. Have students store their reproducibles in their folders.
At the end of the week, have students look at their completed
bar graphs and answer questions about the week’s weather.
Here are a few to get your started:
• How many sunny days did we have this week?
• What weather condition did we see the most of this week?
• How many days did it rain this week?
