Student-facing instructions
You will sit in a circle and hold up your Weather Wardrobe Forecast Guide. Share with classmates what you noticed about the weather today and which clothes you chose because of the forecast. Listen as friends tell you something they liked about your choice and one helpful idea for next time. Finally, decide if you’d change anything about your outfit and tell everyone why.
