[Angela Williams <spartangirl68@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello everybody
  A couple of days ago I asked for some elem. weather web sites for my second grade 
teachers. Once again, LM_NET came through. Below are some of the responses I got. 
Thanks for everyone who responded.

  I have several interactive weather websites hotlinked from my library webpage 
that we use with our 2nd graders.

Follow the links to access them.
Go to:  http://pcsweb.pcs.k12.nc.us/pccsmediacenter
Click on Collaborative Planning at the right hand side.
Click on Next and scroll down to find "Weather Resources"

We have used Enchanted Learning a lot for 2nd grade research.  Also keep checking 
BrainPop Jr.  They have a weather video coming soon.

P.S. The TumbleBooks resources are a paid subscription.  Well worth the money - 
about 85 online e-books accessible from home or school.  Fun, interactive, great 
books!  You can go to http://www.tumblebooks.com/ to find out more about it.

I have a web site that I post sites. Weather is in our Grade 5 science
curriculum in Ontario.
Have a look and see if some of these sites are good for you.
