Description: Inspired by this tale from the Nandi people of Kenya, LeVar plans a fun-filled day around rainy weather, including an aerial chase of a thunderstorm and puddle-hopping.
Activity Suggestion: Assign one student daily to give a weather report using the four weather symbols on a chart. Weather report should include forecast from the newspaper or radio for the next day. At the end of the month count the number of rainy days.
