4th Grade Natural Disaster Articles

The Graded Gazette

This month, fourth-graders learned about natural disasters such as tsunamis, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Students were each tasked with researching a type of natural disaster. After becoming experts in a chosen catastrophic event, they created news stories to inform the Graded community what they had researched and how to stay safe. Subsequently, students will reflect on their learning and use design thinking to solve a problem to decrease their event's impact on humanity.
