Third Graders on the News!
As part of their science unit on weather, third graders had a special visit and assembly by WMTW Channel 8 Meteorologist Ted MacInerney! The students had an informative presentation and an opportunity to ask questions. A super special part of this day was the opportunity, for any third grader who wanted to, to come to Wentworth bright and early (5:30 AM) to broadcast live for "Weather at your School." It was not only a fun and educational experience, but students also really enjoyed their 5 minutes of fame.
Thank you to Tanya Davis, our organizer, and all the third grade teachers who came out to support this very special day!
