Activity K1 .4

The Clothes 1 Wear

What am I wearing today? What are you wearing today? What is the weath—
er today, and how does what we’re wearing relate to it? What are we doing
today, and how does what we’re wearing relate to it? Why did you wear this
clothing today?

— At the end of the color/family activity, children are asked to come to
school wearing a piece of clothing in their favorite color. Students
review and identify different articles of clothing (e.g., pants, shirts,
skirts, socks, blouses, etc). They talk about why they chose the
clothing they’re wearing.

— The students then learn about different weathers and seasons. Using
pictures and cutouts, they look at the different items of clothing they
wear during the year depending on the season and the weather. This
activity introduces the ideas that the same person may look “different”
at different times and that there may be change even within one person.
