The End of October Already

I can't believe it is the end of October already! In science we are going to be working on weather and studying various forms of weather, including hurricanes, tornadoes, and thunderstorms. I think the students will really enjoy this unit. I am planning on using short clips form United Streaming to enhance the lessons and engage the students in learning. I have greatly appreciated having my projector. I don't think a TV works quite as well as the large projections for engaging the entire class since there are so many students. It also makes a difference for my visually impaired student. She has no vision in her right eye and can sometimes see slight images with her left. The large projection makes it possible for her to make out some portion of what the class is watching, whether it is a lesson on the smart board or a video we are watching.
