Pretty colors up so high ☁️✨
Oh, I wish that it would stay,
Bringing color every day 🌦️💖

Sometimes it's cold 🥶, sometimes it's hot 🥵
We'll learn about the "Weather" ☔ and about "Rhymes" 🎶
So we know the difference between dimes 💰 and chimes 🔔
For show-and-tell on Wednesday, bring an umbrella ☂️🌧️
On Thursday, we'll have weather stickers in every nook 🌈⭐
For cooking on Friday, we'll make some clouds and rain ☁️🍴
And the week will go by without any pain 😊🎉
