There is a playground outside of our classroom. I often run around with the kids and sometimes, we lay on the ground to look at the sky. Most of this week, I kept seeing cloudless skies, but on Wednesday, I saw a phenomenal one that I couldn’t get out of my mind. I personally love patterns, and this was a dream one. The sky was almost this exact shade, with flat clouds completely aligned in a staggered but uniform. way. It was the most beautiful sky I have seen in a long time. I noticed that it was only contained partially over our schoolyard, which I found so interesting. I would ask students to tell me what type of clouds they are used to seeing, and what materials they’ve seen that remind them of clouds, and if these can be used for creating their own collage. I used blue construction paper, and cut it into strips, and placed them in staggered formation, to coincide with the clouds. That’s how i “saw” it in my mind. Everything in its place..but not quite.
That must have been beautiful to see. I love how different clouds are in different parts of the country. Clouds in the southwest (New Mexico, Utah, Arizona) are so different from New York clouds.
