The amazing variability of weather we have here in Canada (sometimes within one week) makes weather a fabulous science topic for preschoolers. Have you ever stopped to consider how amazing this world is? I think it helps that I am surrounded with little people all day long, but every time we head outside we have at least one “WOW” moment.Ĭhildren are so great at slowing down and noticing things.
