Weather you like it or not!

Yes, weather is everywhere and the students are learning how meteorologists use weather instruments to make predictions. We have a weather center set up in our classroom and the students have been busy reading books about weather, testing weather instruments, investigating tornadoes and learning about weather safety. The students will be tested over weather instruments next Thursday, March 4.

In social studies, we have been learning about the French and Indian War. The students enjoyed Mrs. Haley, the storyteller, as our guest this week. We have expressed our concern about the treatment of the American Indians and how the Ohio Territory is divided. We will move into the American Revolution next week. Today we took all the dates and events of the past lesson and made a timeline.
