Activity:

Have students listen to the presenter and show respect while he or she is talking. Have a list of questions prepared ahead of time from the students to ask the forecaster. Thank them for coming and talking about the weather with your class.

Have the students after the presenter leaves write a thank you note and write something specific about what the presenter said. During the presentation make sure the children are listening and taking notes. This way they have something specific to write in their thank you note.

The teacher should also write a thank you note and send them to the forecaster station or home.
