Today, our fifth-grade students enjoyed an engaging and informative lesson about weather with Meteorologist Michael Montifusco from the National Weather Service in Wakefield!
Students explored a variety of exciting weather topics, including weather forecasting, severe weather, precipitation, weather tools, weather safety, and so much more! This learning experience helped bring classroom instruction to life and deepened students’ understanding of weather phenomena and the importance of being weather-aware.
A special THANK YOU to Meteorologist Montifusco for visiting Sussex Central Elementary School and sharing your knowledge and expertise with our Tigers!
