Today, I headed to the College Community School District to talk to the students at the Early Childhood Center.  The students ranged from K to 5th grade.  We talked about what makes the weather, high and low pressure, and what to do in the event of severe weather.  After being indoors we headed outside where each student got a chance to see inside the TV 9 First Alert Mobile Weather Lab.  They were filled with great questions and stories.

Thanks to Adraine Carstens for the invite!

Today, I headed to the well-kept town of Keystone in Benton County on this gorgeous day and spoke to the 4th graders.  We talked about the water cycle, high and low pressure, and what to do in the event of severe weather.  They were a great bunch!  They were very attentive and always raised their hands when they had questions.  I was very humble too when they asked for my autograph, which I was happy to give to them!

Thanks to Mrs. Kimm and Mrs. Townsley for the invite!

Today, I took the TV9 Stormteam Weather Academy to Echo Hill Elementary in Marion.  My "cadets" were the 4th graders.  Prior to today, they had been learning about the water cycle, so I was asked to go over that again and answer any questions they had.  They seemed to know their stuff, so it was pretty much a review for them!  We also talked about high and low pressure, which involved a few experiments that they seemed to enjoy.  Before taking questions at the end, I reminded the students that severe weather season is right around the corner and that now is the time to practice what to do in the event of bad weather.

Thanks to Mrs. Russell for the invite!
