This writing activity includes an informational sheet about the 3 main types of clouds (cirrus, cumulus, stratus) and a handout for students to write their own report about clouds. 


You could also have students construct each type of cloud by using cotton balls and gray paint (for stratus clouds) and pasting them onto a piece of blue construction paper along with their informational write up squares. 


This activity is also included in my "Abuela" unit. :-)
