Living in Florida we are all worried about hurricane Irma coming this weekend. Now I do have to say 4 and 5 year olds know more than you think. And they are asking a lot of good questions. They also coming up with good answers. One little girl "about her Mom's potted plants outside". one of the little boys answered" bring them inside."
A big question in the classroom was if they were evacuating or not? Their version was are you staying or going. About 50 percent of the class is going and 50 percent are staying. As for the teachers 90 percent are staying and 10 percent are going.
We also looked at pictures of what a hurricane looked like on a weather map and pictures of what they might see outside.
We also went through the hurricane preparness list and things we can do to help us through this time. Some times as teachers we need to teach what is going on where we live.
