Tracking Hurricane Rita

As if we needed any more evacuees around here... now, the city of Galveston is being evacuated upwards into the state as well. I'm in a coastal area, also, so we're packing up and heading North for the rest of our school week and weekend. I certainly won't be using Priceline to book my hotel, though!

Make the most of this homeschool event if you are interested in hurricanes. Here are some websites you and your children will enjoy:

Do Some Hurricane Tracking and Research

• MSN Hurricane Tracker (past and present hurricanes, including Rita)
• Hurricanes Unit Study Links
• Hurricanes and Storms Unit Study (requires registration, but first 3 days is free)
• Hurricane Song
  

Make a Hurricane Lapbook

For more information about lapbooking:

• Lapbook Groups at Yahoo
• Photos of a Harriet Tubman Lapbook (pretty)
• Let's Try Lapbooking by Cindy Rushton

Stay SAFE and Pray for the areas Rita will make landfall!
