On September 16, 2010 the 5th grade of Thomas Jefferson went to Holden and on the way there Mrs. Freeman's class bus caught on fire! We had to get off the bus on the freeway and jump over the rail and wait until we got a different bus. That is a day I will never forget.

Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere . Ever since there have been people on earth, it has been someone's job to figure out the weather. In 340 B.C., Aristotle began studying the phenomena of clouds, rain, snow, wind, thunder, hail, and hurricanes. Weather instruments began being used in the 1600's. Now, weather forecasting is very sophisticated. Nearly every tv channel has weather stations that include weather instruments, as well as computers and satalites.
Millions of people, every day listen to the weather forecast. Some people need to know what the weather will be like for their job, like farmers, pilots, and fisherman. Other people want to know because of camping, hiking, picnicking, or other outdoor activities.
Whatever the reason, meteorology is important to many people on the planet earth.
