Layers of the Atmosphere

Today we read from our text book and reviewed the positions and properties of the layers of the atmosphere.

The next time that someone asks you, "What's up?" you can really tell them!

The dog was panting after our walk around the neighborhood.

The tree tops were moving, but not too fast.

 I can't wait to hear what you noticed!
