Metereology Update
We are looking forward to our NCAR field trip taking place
this Wednesday. After learning about the atmosphere and
what causes weather, students are anxiously anticipating an
interesting and informative presentation. In addition,
students can't wait to check out all the cool interactive
weather displays and activities!
As our meterology unit comes to a close, we will be taking a
closer look at storms, including tornadoes and hurricanes.
Wendy Schneider-Abshire, a meterologist from UCAR, has
graciously volunteered to speak to our class on storm safety
tips. Be sure to ask your budding meteorologist to share
some tips that will keep you safe during inclement
weather.
This has been a great unit and students have gained much
knowledge. As a cumulative project the students will have
the opportunity to become meteorologists. They will be
asked to choose a region of the United States and forecast
its weather for the upcoming week.

Social Studies
The study of the Revolutionary War has been insightful and
interesting for our students. We have been reading a great
deal from the America's Story textbook regarding our
nation's independence. Students have been working on maps,
timelines, speeches, comprehension sheets, and researching
individuals of historical importance. Soon they will be
writing biographies on these historical figures. This unit
of study flows nicely into the founding of the new nation,
with the study of the Constitution and the branches of
government.
