Hurricane Sandy for younger students

Classroom Resources to Help Teach About Hurricane Sandy

I found this article the other day and was very interested in it to help teach my students about this recent hurricane. I have the privilege of working in a parochial school so our conversation began the other day by praying for those in the states affected by the hurricane and those helping them. My kinders were very interested in what a hurricane is and then the conversation switched to the difference between hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes. The Sesame Street video on the feed talked about weather leading up to the hurricane, things that should be done before the hurricane, and ways to try and stay safe. I liked this video because it was age appropriate and understandable for my students.
