Guest Speakers Galore!

We have been lucky enough this week to have two guest speakers. Mike Buresh a local meteorologist on the news came to speak to second grade as we culminated our weather unit. Below are some more pictures of another guest speaker who came this week. A puppy trainer for people with disabilities shared his dog and her skills with us.

Here he is showing us a digital anemometer. He gave us a website for kids to make their own "anemometer." It isnt a true anemometer because it isn't giving you a specific read out of the speed. It is actually called a "wind speed indicator." Find the directions at: http://www.energyquest.ca.gov/projects/anemometer.html

Here Mr. Buresh used Thai to demonstrate how Doppler Radar works. He pretended he was a rain storm!

This is like a Where's Waldo! Can you find the famous man in the middle?

We also had a man who trains puppies to be service dogs come speak to us this week. Gracie knows 30 commands!

Here Gracie is getting a soda can to give to her owner.

Here is the whole second grade with Gracie in the middle. Such a good doggie!
