Hurricanes!


This year we were fortunate and did not have any hurricanes effect us in Gainesville. Last year, two days of the first week of school were canceled because of Tropical Storm Fay.


Find out more about hurricanes by visiting the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) website for kids. I'm not going to tell you where to find the answers to these questions, so you need to put on your detective hat and get to work.


Comment with your answers:

1. Has there ever been a hurricane named after you?

2. What are three things you should pack in a disaster supply kit?

3. What are Hurricane Hunters?


If you have extra time you should try the hurricane house game or check out the hurricane cartoons.
