Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited Franklin School of Innovation earlier today to talk with 4th graders all about the weather. They were very curious and asked a bunch of great questions. They discussed different things to put in a winter safety kit and mentioned items like a first aid kit and flashlights. They also knew where to go in a severe thunderstorm warning. There are sure to be some future scientists in that group!
At the end, all of the kids wished Lauren and the First Alert Weather team a Happy National Weatherperson's Day. There was no other place that she would rather be than teaching kids about the weather!
