On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited Banning Lewis and Rocky Mountain Classical Academies. From winter storms to severe weather, they talked about what to do in these situations.
These third graders and kindergarteners were very excited about the weather and asked so many great questions. They have been learning all about the weather in their classes, so they knew the answer to every question.
The kids said their favorite part was the hail demonstration where they got to see how hail formed. They loved sharing their ideas on where to go during severe weather.
