COLORADO SPRINGS — On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited some kindergartners at Academy International Elementary School and AdventureMe Forest Nature School.

They have been learning about weather and the different patterns of our atmosphere. They were so smart and knew all of the answers to Lauren's questions.

They talked about everything from the kinds of weather that we see here in Colorado and what to do during a severe storm. At the end of the presentation, Lauren taught them the weather dance and they all loved it.

For more information on how to have First Alert 5 Weather visit with your classroom, email lauren.brand@koaa.com.
