December 16 Christmas Break Celebration

Maya on team Lava Waves informed her team of 2 natural disasters Thunderstorms - Lightning and Tornadoes. Lava Waves team presented a skit showing what to do before during and after these two kinds of storms. Emma presented the science experiment where she took a rectangular clear container filled with room temperature water and put 2 blue ice cubes in one end and 2 drops of red food coloring in the opposite end. The colors were swirling and forming similar effects to a thunderstorm and tornado.

Each Natural Disaster we are studying has a How to Prepare, What to do during and What to do after. (ready.gov)  How to prepare always begins with Emergency Kit and Communication Plan. That is why it was very special to have the Red Cross come and talk about what goes into an emergency kit and why it's important to have a communication plan. The Red Cross also has iPhone smartphone apps that you can load that will provide information to you that is helpful before during or after a natural disaster.

Team project managers Cadie and Ashley met separately to come up with fundraising ideas. They have a box of candy and they will sell it to raise money.

The teams got together for a celebration. 

They played games like Pin the Nose on the Snowman and enjoyed delicious snacks and good conversation.
