Instructional Ideas

  • Send the packet home for pupils to complete alongside their parents or guardians
  • Have individual worksheets readily available for early finishers to work on when time permits 
  • Make a kit for the classroom; invite class members to donate items listed on page eight 

Classroom Considerations

  • The duration reflects the amount of time it will take to complete approximately two worksheets a day 
  • Your area may not experience every natural disaster listed; however, learning about the topic and having a plan in case one occurs may put learners' concerns at ease 

Pros

  • A Disney theme enhances learners engagement 
  • Provides brief notes to parents to guide their child's questions after reading informational pages  
  • Offers five additional resources to extend the learning experience  

Cons

  • None
