 * Recommended Grade Levels**
 * Connections are tailored to the age of the students, recommended grade levels are 1st-5th. **
 * Younger students sometimes react negatively to the intense nature of the sessions. **
 * If you are outside of those levels and wish to participate, please send me an email. **


 * Prep ( Please review this with your class in depth as it makes the session go 100 times smoother)**

1-2 weeks prior to your session, you should have received a packet containing information about:
 * Project Tornado booklet (download a [|.pdf version] )
 * Etiquette during session
 * Possible Materials to help your lesson planning such as book suggestions
 * How to develop good questions to ask Rusty

Setup Camera Presets : Rusty likes to see the kids when they ask questions, so setup some camera presets to help your kids along.

For more information on camera presets, contact your on-site technician or feel free to contact us Kerri Niemeyer or John Ghazzaghat ESC 12 to help you setup.


 * Agenda**
 * (be ** sure to setup about 10-15 minutes prior to the session and have all students bring their Project Tornado Books to class)

Introductions
 * Each site will introduce their school
 * We will then introduce Rusty to the class
 * Q and A time. Students will ask Rusty their questions (that you have ready before hand)
 * Weather Facts from Rusty
 * Picture Time. Be sure to have a digital camera handy so we can take your picture with Rusty to be featured on the news!

If you have questions, comments or concerns, please visit our [|Weather with Rusty discussion page].
