Today we had a severe weather drill (as did all of Minnesota I believe). We talked with the students about severe weather and how to stay safe if there would ever be a tornado. I showed the class a short YouTube video of a tornado so they could visualize the severity of the wind and weather it entails. We discussed that it may look cool as a tornado spins in the sky but they are VERY dangerous and we should never go outside to watch a storm.
In the afternoon there was an actual school wide drill. The students quickly went into the hall and got down into a crouch. An all clear was given and we returned to the classroom (the students were champs through the drill!) After, the students were returning to their work when one of our little boys grabbed my hand and we quickly walked to the window. He pointed and said “look at outside Ms. U!” I asked him what he was showing me. He told me it was sunny and there was no rain. He apparently missed the class being told this was just a practice for sever weather and thought there should actually be a storm outside.
Needless to say it was the highlight of my day! Oh how I love these innocent kindergartners :)
