Here in the Midwest tornado season seems to be in full effect. Recently, a tornado wreaked havoc in Branson, Mo and surrounding areas. Earlier this week a pre-k teacher was presenting a very timely science lesson on TORNADOES. She read CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS by Judi Barrett to introduce the lesson and followed up with a YOUTUBE video of an actual tornado. To reinforce the lesson children were invited to make swirly, twisty tornadoes using cooked spaghetti noodles.
I now invite you to be a "fly on the wall" and listen to the comments made by the pre-schoolers during the TORNADO lesson.
" LOOK AT THAT VOLCANO!!!!" .
"Wow! It gets busy inside a tornado!"
"Hey, if you are in front of a tomato you can get hurt!"
"I have one of those at my house."
"Are these Spaghetti-O's?"
"I can hear (the tornado) vibrating"
...and the ever popular pre-k comment no matter what the topic
: "My dog is in heaven."
