4th Grade Lesson

I decided that I am going to do my first lesson on tornado conditions. Specifically, we will be talking about what tornadoes are like and what the weather conditions need to be in order to facilitate a tornado.
Lesson Plan: Winter Snowfall

What I am going to be doing for my portion of the project is I am covering winter/snowfall.
I am going to be teaching the students how to stay safe in the snow and activites they can participate in during the winter season. Also I want to plan one day to take the students outside sledding and building snowmen. They will also be presenting to other students on winter snow fall in Michingan and compairing recent years of snowfall

Web Evaluations

Hi Ryan and Eric!

I found these websites that I evaluated for our Unit on weather.
1. BBC Schools - What is weather?
2. Web Weather for Kids
3. Kids Fun Online: Interactive Weather Maker

These are all great websites for our unit that have interactive components for both teachers and students to use. Let me know what ones you guys found.
