We had a super special visitor today...T.G. Shuck from Channel 27 Newsfirst (WKYT) was here to talk to us about weather!  He is so wonderful and we learned so much about all the elements of weather and how storms form.  It was really cool to hear about all the components of his job and exactly how he does what we does.  Be sure and watch WKYT TONIGHT at 5PM to see a video of US (the 3rd grade) that TG took and will put on the news.  He said it should be after the extended weather forecast so don't miss it!

HE took OUR picture!

**our LAST DAY of school is Friday, June 3rd!  (I'll be sending home a summer activity folder for each student for those rainy days or days in which you may be feeling a little "bored".  There are waaaaay cool Science experiments like making "goo" or a cloud!  Also, there are several reading lists and activities, math practice for 4th grade and other activities to try!  I will put a stamped envelope already addressed to me in the folders as well so you have NO excuse to not write me a letter!  Plus, if you write me one, I'll write you one back...how fun, huh?!?)
