Grade 3 Weather and Seasons Vocabulary PowerPoint: What's the Weather Like?

Lesson Sequence

• Project the slides during the Presentation and Guided Practice stages of the lesson (see the Weather and Seasons Lesson Plan for full timing). Pause on each vocabulary slide long enough for choral repetition before moving on. On the Teacher Model slide, read both parts of the dialogue yourself first, then invite a confident student to take the student role with you. Use the closing "Great job!" slide as a natural point to transition into the Speaking Activity or Quiz.

Classroom Activities

• Before showing the Review slide, split the class into two teams. Reveal one picture at a time and give each team a turn to say the word and whether it names weather or a season, awarding a point for each correct answer. This turns the built-in review slide into a quick, low-prep team game to close the lesson.

Teacher Tips

On the Review "What Is It?" slide, the category (weather word or season name) is deliberately not labelled — resist the urge to say it out loud before students guess. Letting a few seconds of genuine thinking happen (even silence) gives stronger students a chance to self-correct before you prompt them.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to name 8 weather words and 4 season names from a picture.
• Students will be able to ask "What's the weather like today?" with correct word order.
• Students will be able to answer using "It's (rainy/hot/cloudy...)."
• Students will be able to describe a season using "In the ___ season, it is/it rains ___."

Differentiation

SUPPORT: Keep vocabulary slides visible for longer and allow students to answer with the picture card alone (pointing) before adding the spoken word. Pre-teach the 4 season names separately if 12 new words in one sitting is too many.
ON-LEVEL: Students follow the full slide sequence, producing complete "What's the weather like?" questions and answers by the Guided Practice slide.
CHALLENGE: During Guided Practice, have students invent a third question pair of their own using a weather word and season name not shown on the slide.

Assessment

Observe choral responses during the vocabulary and Guided Practice slides to gauge which words need more repetition. The Review slide doubles as an informal spot-check — note which pictures students hesitate on and revisit those words at the start of the next lesson.
