Thank you Barry Burbank & WBZ Channel 4

Today we were lucky enough to have a visit from Barry Burbank, meteorologist for WBZ TV, Channel 4 in Boston.  (CBS affiliate)  He taught us all about weather and how they forecast the weather. 

 

At the end of his great presentation, they recorded a “Morning Message” that will air tomorrow morning during the newscast.  It will air once between 5-6 am and then once again between 6 and 7a.m.  All of the “First In Math” Players of the Day were selected to say “Good morning Boston!” and then he filmed the rest of grades 3, 4 and 5 waving hello!  You can also see a video of us airing between 5 and 6pm, but this video will not have any audio!

 

Be sure to set your DVR or wake up and watch the morning news to see our Lynn Woods School!
