My Project

My 4th graders are studying to becoming Meteorologists. Building a library of Extreme Weather books will excite and engage my students.

They are so excited listening to read alouds and watching videos on weather.

The students are going to read and take notes about weather and do short research projects.

Our goal is to create posters about Extreme Weather and orally present in front of each other. We are also going to ask a meteorologist to come in and speak with the students about weather. They will see the storm tracker truck.
