Designed for K–1 classrooms, each booklet gives young writers the support they need to describe seasonal weather, choose appropriate clothing, and complete simple sentence frames with confidence.

Students explore what Weather Bear should wear during Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, using seasonal weather words and clothing vocabulary to guide their writing and drawing. Everything is print-and-go, easy to use, and intentionally structured to help early writers feel successful.
