Tracking Hurricanes

4B has started tracking the Atlantic hurricanes of 2013.  Students learned last week about longitude and latitude.  It has been a slow start for hurricanes this year, but we had our first tropical storm to track on Monday.  Each student has a tracking map and we will be looking at NOAA's website to get the coordinates of the storms locations each day.   I was excited today to hear the kids talking about how Tropical Storm Humberto had turned into a hurricane when they walked into class today.  I forgot to take pictures of the kids plotting the points, so I will have to get some later in the week.
