The 1st graders in Goddard were treated to a visit from Millie Tuesday. We had been invited to do a weather talk and review the water cycle with the kids. As always, they had some great stories about weather and some great questions. I always do a short quiz, putting pictures of weather measuring instruments on the board, and have them guess what we are looking at. They do an excellent job, and I always walk away amazed at how smart some of the kids are. Millie was very intrigued by the radiosonde, which is the device that I'm holding up for the kids. It is carried up by the weather balloon and measures temperature, pressure, humidity, and is tracked to see what the wind pattern is like in the atmosphere. Millie thought there was a milk bone in there, but she couldn't have been more wrong.
I'll be at East High School on Wednesday for a career fair, so we are staying very busy this week.
