& 🌦️ The WxKids Advantage
A natural rhythm of learning—built on curiosity, connection, and real-world discovery.
Developed with the guidance of over 40 years of teaching experience across public schools, private classrooms, and immersive science centers, WxKids is grounded in one goal:
To make learning feel real, personal, and joyful—while still building discipline, critical thinking, empathy and confidence.
Instead of starting with a textbook, we start with the sky.
Instead of memorization, we spark curiosity.
Instead of passive learning, we invite action, connection, and meaning.
Each week, WxKids uses your local weather forecast to deliver personalized lessons, tailored to your child’s grade level and interests—making everyday weather the launchpad for a rich educational journey.
"Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either"
-Marshall McLuhan
🔄 4 Steps of Real Learning
| Step | Name | Description | Why It Matters | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hook | Spark curiosity with something real—like frost on the grass or the rumble of thunder. | Relevance and wonder ignite focus. When learning feels connected to real life, kids want to know more. | Builds curiosity and attention—the fuel for real learning. |
| 2 | Learn | A short, grade-level lesson connects the forecast to science, math, art, or storytelling. | Lessons are meaningful because they build on what students already observe. | Deepens understanding and builds a sense of mastery. |
| 3 | Engage | Games, challenges, or hands-on activities turn ideas into experiences. | Active learning creates stronger mental connections and emotional ownership. | Strengthens problem-solving, creativity, and confidence. |
| 4 | Apply | Kids put learning into action—by measuring, creating, presenting, or reflecting. | Learning becomes part of life. They see it work. | Builds independence and purpose, while showing learning has real value. |
🌟 Why WxKids Works (and What It Builds)

| ✔ Builds Confidence | Children solve, observe, experiment, and teach back | Fuels self-trust and a growth mindset—“I can figure this out.” |
| ✔ Encourages Connection | Parents and teachers share the learning moment | Creates emotional bonds and shared discovery—learning becomes joyful and social. |
| ✔ Flexible & Versatile | Weather can be the starting point for nearly any subject | Teaches science, math, writing, art, and even emotions, all through a single, familiar lens. |

Why it Works?
Weather isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we feel, observe, measure, and imagine. WxKids uses everyday weather to:
-
Build vocabulary and early literacy with things they can see and feel
-
Encourage real-world science and data thinking
-
Spark creativity and storytelling
-
Help kids move, notice, and reflect on the world around them
This is Fun! Not like School because they can see what they are learning in real-time!
Do I really get a customized weekly email with my weather and lesson
What can I expect from the courses? Do they follow a curriculum
What does "Wx" mean?
What if I have a whole class or run a Co-Op
