Severe Weather Lessons Blowing in from the South





Today we got to visit with a local meteorologist! Mr. Tim Deegan from Channel 12 News came to our class to tell us about clouds, high and low pressure, weather instruments, and what to do in the event of dangerous weather. We learned that lightening only happens when ice crystals are present. We discussed what to do if a tornado warning is issued. We talked about tsunamis and hurricanes. We even learned a little bit about television production and what a green screen is!

Carmen Agra Deedy Visits Chets Creek!



We had an entertaining visit with the awesome author Carmen Agra Deedy this morning! She is a master storyteller and kept the kids hanging on her every word as she told them a tale about a character with more heart than brains.
