The weather wheel is on the side, the weather wheel features the concepts of: sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, and windy; as well as hot and cold. Each day, one preschooler is chosen during the calendar and weather activity and that preschooler has the opportunity to look at the window and describe the current weather.
