On Wednesday, Meteorologist Alex O'Brien met with students in Colorado Springs to teach them how to stay safe during severe weather. They learned about winter storms, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flash floods. The students created their very own forecast for the next 7 days.
First, she met with the 5th graders at French Elementary in Ms. Graber, Ms. Magno, Ms. Davenport, and Ms. Brownfield's classes. The students were so enthusiastic did a good job refocusing after exciting moments.
Then she met virtually with the 3rd graders in Ms. Stutts and Ms. Fogelberg's classes. The students were great listeners and had well-thought-out questions for Alex.
