Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog! I have provided some information about extreme weather and natural disasters. I have also provided some neat information about books for children. Weather, in Wisconsin, is usually studied in fourth grade. I have always been interested in weather and I know that many children, whether they are afraid of storms or absolutely love them, they are always interested in learning about the natural occurrences. The books, movie, and links I have provided below are exciting and educational, they will surely capture the interest of young readers. There is a variety of styles including informative, graphic novels, realistic fiction and some awesome books with great photos. As a teacher it is my goal to provide material that children will be interested in that also relates to the curriculum.

Magic School Bus: "Kicks up a Storm"

Movie: Magic School Bus: Kicks up a Storm
Written By: John May, Brian Meehl, Jocelyn Stevenson
Runtime: 22 minutes
Grade Level 3-5
Gather on the Magic School Bus for a wild ride, while Ms. Frizzle's class creates their own thunderstorm! This is a great introductory movie to weather, the class learns about the important elements of weather: wind, air and heat. Ralphie the "Weatherman" is determined to create a thunderstorm but along the way the class stops at the clouds, is turned into ice crystals, and forced up in an updraft. They learn all about cloud composition as well as the perfect combinations to produce different type of weather.

This engaging movie will keep students interest while teaching them introductory facts that they must know before they can move on to bigger storms. The film provides real world examples that help children envision the process (warm air rising out of a toaster to represent an updraft). The movie provides many scientific facts in a fun way.
