ANNOUNCEMENTS - Week 6
20 October 2000
If teachers wish to buy additional sets of pressure blocks
for classroom use, they are available from the AMS Education Program. Blocks
and other AMS educational materials are available through:
LIT Leaders should have received LIT Verification Forms. If you have not
done so, these should be carefully reviewed and faxed back to us immediately. A
careful perusal of spellings and needed check marks will assist us and
eliminate our need to contact you again.
We are pleased to see "Reports from the Field" when personal
weather experiences impact participants. We know participants and their
students from around the country are interested in the "eye-witness"
stories. If you or your participants have interesting personal or local weather
experiences and/or anecdotes, email them to Dr. Ed Hopkins for possible
inclusion. And the more timely the better!
