Weather Chat with 1st Grade

Anthony Yanez - Channel 2 Meteorologist

By: Aidan Plut

Anthony Yanez from channel 2 came to our school to teach us about weather. He taught us about the Water Cycle. A fun fact he shared is that we drink the same water that the dinosaurs drank. He also taught us about all kinds of clouds. The clouds can tell us what kind of weather is coming. When we get a storm that could bring lots of rain, that means we could get a flood. Mr. Yanez taught us rules that we need to follow during a flood.

· Never bike through high water.

· Do not play in flood water.

· Don’t drive in water if you don’t know how deep it is.

Do you know what do you do if you are outside and your hair stands up? If you are outside and your hair starts to stand up on your head or your arms that means that lightning has chosen you as a target and you should duck down as low as you can to the ground. Also, don’t play on metal toys at the playground during a storm.

Hurricanes can cause floods and high waters. They can also cause tornadoes. You should go to a safe place like a closet or a room with no windows. If you know a hurricane is coming you could try to go to a different city where they aren’t going to get the hurricane.

I enjoyed being your reporter for this activity. I am glad that Mr. Yanez came to our school to teach us about weather. I learned many facts and he made it a lot of fun.
