Hi, We are Mrs. Blanchard's fifth grade classroom from Donnellson, Iowa. We are in the state of Iowa in the United States. For those of you who don't know, Iowa is near the middle of the United States.
Our school is a small one out in the middle of the countryside. Our school is eight miles from our town.There are 19 in our classroom.
Agriculture is the main industry in our area. We have lots of corn fields and soy bean fields. Many of our farmers raise hogs and cattle.
Our normal spring weather is usually windy and rainy. This year so far it has been more like our summers. They are usually hot. We don't mind our early summer weather.
Hello to all, Ms. Shook’s Fourth Grade Class is located at Clark Elementary School in Wichita, Kansas-USA. We live in a state where we are known for the large amounts of Tornadoes a year. Normally our winters are very cold with temperatures in the negative numbers, in addition to snow and ice. Spring: rainy and windy. Our summers are normally hot with temperatures in the 80’s-110 but the temperature has been higher. We have had many hail storms, rain and thunderstorms, we have even experienced Thundersnow. In our Fourth grade classroom we are currently studying different types of storms that occur around the world. We are very excited to be a part of the 6th annual Wild Weather Project.
Hello! We are Mrs. Johnson's 3rd graders from Gordon Parks Academy. We are from Wichita, Kansas. We are also located in the Midwest region in the United States. Our school is located near the center of our community. Our building is fairly new, only 4 years old. We have a FEMA storm shelter that can withstand wind speeds from an F5 tornado. Our weather here has been unseasonably warm. In March we have already had temperatures in the 80's. Usually it's approximately 20 degrees cooler. We are known for severe weather during the spring and summer months. This can include thunderstorms that may produce large hail, high winds, tornadoes, lightening, and thunder. So far, we haven't experienced any major thunderstorms, we have had some welcomed rain after our extremely dry winter, and some hail but nothing too severe.
Howell's 3rd Grade:
Welcome to Wichita, Kansas, USA! Our class of 3rd graders belong to Gordon Parks Academy. There are 12boys and 12 girls in our class. We are the only authorized IB (International Baccalaureate) school in Wichita, maybe even the whole state! Kansas is in the center of the USA and Wichita is located in the south central region. This time of year, we are noted for having tornadoes and thunderstorms. We are looking forward to this weather project.
Hello Everyone,
We are from Charles Curtis Middle School in Wichita, Kansas. In Ms. Gonzales' science, we are 2 classes of 6th grade, 47 students. Right now, we are learning about weather and climate. We are at the south central region of Kansas. So far our weather down here has been beautiful with sunny skies and warm temperature in the 70's. Recently we have experienced a few storms so our data is getting interesting. Looking foward to many projects.
Boardman Glenwood Middle School
Mr. Diefenderfer & Mrs. Kratzer – 7th grade Science
Our school is located in Boardman, Ohio, a suburb of Youngstown. We live in Northeast Ohio, a little over an hour south of Cleveland and Northwest of Pittsburgh, PA.
Our region is known for the typical four seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Our average winter temperature is in the mid 30’s (⁰F) and 80⁰F in the summer. We set a record high during the week of March 19th, 81⁰F. We are just below the snow belt and do not receive as much snow (Lake Effect snow) as Cleveland.
We have 142 7th grade students eager to participate in the Wild Weather Project
Hello world,
We are 7th graders in Mr.Jenney's science class from Charles Robinson Middle School in Wichita, KS-USA.
We all know that the weather can be a little crazy down here! The temperatures just in the month of April have ranged from 35 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Many stereotype Kansas weather with tornadoes, but they are not as common as it may seem.
Our school is known for our excellent science programs and we are eager to share our knowledge with other schools around the country!
Hello from Clarkston. Michigan! We are Mrs. Giovas’ 3rd grade classroom from Pine Knob Elementary School. We have 24 students in our class. Clarkston is located in the southeast part of Michigan, north of Detroit. Our state, Michigan, is surrounded by the Great Lakes and is north of Indiana and Ohio. Michigan is actually 2 peninsulas. The Upper Peninsula is known as the U.P. We live in the Lower Peninsula. The Great Lakes region is known for cold winters and warm summers. The Great Lakes do affect our weather sometimes. Apples, cherries, blueberries, and lumber products are just a few of the products that Michigan is known for. We are excited to join you to learn more about weather!
SVE is a small rural district in the Finger Lakes area of New York state. (Think Watkins Glen or Cornell University.) There are 19 children in our third grade classroom and a wonderful student teacher from SUNY Cortland with us until May 9th. We will often get lake effect snow and don't have a snow day unless we get more then 8 inches of snow. This year was very different with very little snow fall. In fact we will have an unused snow day tomorrow, Thursday April 5 added to our spring break.
