Turning local doings into good lessons.
Perhaps it is living in Tornado Alley that makes our thoughts turn to weather at this time. Spring has sprung, and severe weather boils around my area of the world. Alerts, watches, warnings, bulletins - we pay special attention as our severe weather season begins.
We recently went through our first round of severe weather of the season. My kids were full of questions as we listed to the constant National Weather Service updates of Tornado Warnings, Severe Thunderstrom Watches, and Flood Warnings. We discussed our family's safety plan for severe weather both in our home and if we were out and about.
Homeschooling is great for curious kids. Put those minds to work with weather-related lesson plans and ideas. Check out the article on Weather Lesson Plans for all you need to get started.
