Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

To end our science unit on weather, we read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.  As a class, we brainstormed  other types of food that we would like it to rain. My students illustrated a photograph of the elementary playground and wrote about what they would do if it rained pizza, apples, candy, ice cream, etc.  They are so creative and doing such a fantastic job with their writing this year.  Check out some of these writing samples.
