A TORNADO,
A HAIL STORM,
A HURRICANE...
AND OTHER THINGS WE LEARNED ABOUT TEXAS!!
Welcome to our web site!  This site was created by fourth grade students from Willie Brown Elementary in Mansfield, Texas.  Students researched major Texas weather events and cities in the four regions of Texas.  This is a showcase of what students learned during the project.
MAJOR WEATHER EVENTS
Students e-mailed people throughout Texas to find out about the weather in different parts of our state.  After collaborating with others, students researched and created web-based projects.
