This spring, fourth graders at Cossitt School in La Grange spent the month of April studying extreme weather as their way of Celebrating Cossitt Curriculum (CCC). Inside the classroom, the students had the chance to learn about the science and origin of extreme weather occurrences, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. Moreover, the students studied significant storms throughout history and how communities recovered from the severe impact of these storms. Outside of the classroom, the fourth graders had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Science and Industry, to view the “Science Storms” exhibit, as well as Skype with meteorology professor Jeff Frame, Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.
