NOT CLOUDY

 When the sky is not cloudy, the sun shines brightly, and the weather is usually warm. People enjoy outdoor activities like walking, picnics, or playing sports. A clear sky means there are no clouds, so it is easy to see the sun, the stars, or the moon at night.

In this lesson, students will learn how to describe a clear sky, use "not" to make negative sentences, and talk about activities people do on sunny days.
