COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited some eager kindergartners and third graders.
Mrs. Montoya's third grade class mentioned that they have been learning about the different types of clouds. They were prepared for all of Lauren's questions, and knew all about wind chill, tornadoes and hailstorms. They were particularly interested in wildfires.
Afterwards, Lauren visited Mrs. Pearson's kindergarten class where they have been learning about the types of conditions that we can see. From winter storms to strong thunderstorms, they talked about it all.
