Good Afternoon!
We have been talking a lot about weather this week. Each day we watch the news report for the daily weather and weekly forecast. Since we've got some big changes ahead, the next few days would be a great time for you to watch the news with your kiddos. Here are a few things you could discuss with your child...
-Different types of weather symbols and what they represent
-Different types of weather maps and how they are used
-Ways weather data is displayed for the public (maps, charts, data tables)
-The difference between warm fronts and cold fronts
-How different kinds of weather impacts our lives
-How weather data is gathered
-The importance of a meteorologist's job
Here are some helpful websites y'all can visit if you can't catch the nightly news. These resources have tons of interactive features-so make sure you click around!
