🌪️🌦️ Wacky Weather STEM Showcase at Wellford Academy! 🌍⚡
Wesley the Wolf was very concerned when he realized we didn’t have a severe weather plan—so our students jumped into action! Each grade level became weather experts, researching different severe weather events and creating safety plans:
🌩️ K5: Thunderstorms
🌪️ 1st Grade: Tornadoes (with exciting rotations!)
❄️ 2nd Grade: Blizzards
🌀 3rd Grade: Hurricanes
🌍 4th Grade: Earthquakes
🔥 5th Grade: Wildfires
To take learning to the next level, we used AI technology to generate custom reading comprehension passages and math problems connected to each weather pattern. Hands-on STEM learning + real-world problem-solving = one epic showcase!
Great job, Wolfpack! Wesley can rest easy knowing we’re prepared for whatever weather comes our way! 🌬️💨
