Welcome!!!!

Thank you for your interest in this blog.  The blog is intended to be a forum for students, teachers, and weather professionals to share instructional experiences and information about meteorology.  Ideas for weather instruction can be found at  http://georgiaweatherschool.com/ . This website is also under construction as I update the instructional activities to reflect Georgia adopting Common Core.  Also, I am adding more opportunities for inquiry learning and differentiation.

As the work progresses, I will add updates.
Please feel free to follow the blog, and join the discussion.  Any constructive input or discourse is welcome.
