Introduction:

Dear class,

Good morning first graders! My name is Azan and I live on planet Ulnion. I plan to visit your planet, Earth, and would like to learn more about the different weather patterns and seasons there. Can you please create a weather journal about the different weather patterns and seasons? I would greatly appreciate it!

Your alien friend,

Azan
