Weather Weather Everywhere



Guess who we had as special guests today? The 3 weathermen from KTVQ-2. They did a short clip which they will use as a promo for them and then Ed McIntosh and Jeff Womack did a presentation for us as a culmination to our Weather Unit. They reviewed some things we already knew, but gave us many other new, interesting facts. Like they said, Climate is what we expect, Weather is what we get!!! In Montana, you know never know-anything can happen and so FAST!!

We also OOVOOed Jeff at the Nature Center to talk about the difference between hibernation and dormancy. Well, he told us animals torpor more than hibernate or go dormant. HHMMM-new word for all of us. Anyway this gets us into the next part of Science. Revisiting animals in the Winter. Great tie in to animals and weather.

State Reports: We are working away at them and some kids printed their pics today. Those that have to finish the rough drafts tonight know who they are.

Nightly Writing has to be written in paragraph form and not just write the correct words/answers.
Have a great night.
