They asked her questions like "How many tornadoes do we get in Colorado?" and "How does hail form?". They also shared their personal experiences that they have had with the weather.
Later in the day, Lauren visited Liberty Tree Academy to speak with kindergartners. They were so exited to have Lauren there, and they loved seeing the videos of types of weather that we have in Colorado. At the end, Lauren taught them the weather dance.
