Second Graders Skype with WTKR Meteorologist

On Thursday, November 21, 60 second grade students at Yorktown Elementary School learned about weather forecasting during a Skype session with WTKR meteorologist, Myles Henderson. Mr. Henderson took time to answer students' questions about weather in general and, specifically, about the impending snow storm. The real world learning experience enhanced their weather unit and supported the S.T.E.M. focus of Yorktown Elementary in a blended learning platform. Several students spent the remainder of the day talking about becoming meteorologists.
