ANNOUNCEMENTS - Week 6

19 October 2001

  1. 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:

    http://www.ametsoc.org/amsedu/AERA/ed_mats.html 

  2. LIT Leaders should have received faxed LIT Verification Forms. These should be carefully reviewed and faxed back to us immediately, if you have not yet done so. A careful perusal of spellings and needed eligibility check marks will assist us and eliminate our need to contact you again.

  3. We are pleased to see some "Reports from the Field" when personal weather experiences impact participants. We would like to see more! 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!
