What is a Storm?
PART 1
Sometimes, the sky gets dark...
Gray clouds fill the sky, bringing wind and rain. Suddenly, we might hear a big BOOM of thunder, or see a bright flash of lightning.
These loud sounds are just the clouds talking! They cannot hurt us when we are safe and dry inside our sturdy school building.

Listening & Staying Inside
PART 2
My Teacher has a plan!
My teacher knows exactly how to keep our classroom safe. They have practiced for stormy weather and are ready to help.
I can use my listening ears, stop playing, and follow my teacher's directions right away. This is my most important job!

The Weather Drill
PART 3
We practice our moves!
Sometimes, we practice a weather drill. A drill is like playing a safety game so our bodies know exactly what to do.
When the drill begins, we stand up, join our line, and walk quietly and calmly to our special shelter spot in the school.

Severe Weather Posture
PART 4
Duck and Cover!
In our shelter spot, we protect our heads. I kneel down on the floor, tuck my head low, and place my hands over my neck.
I can stay very small, still, and quiet, just like a strong turtle safe inside its hard shell. My body is safe when I curl up low.

Coping & Calming
PART 5
Calming my heart and mind
If the wind is noisy, I might feel a little bit worried. That is okay! Everyone has worried feelings sometimes.
I can close my eyes and take 3 deep, slow breaths. Breathe in like smelling a pretty flower... breathe out like blowing out a candle.

The Storm Passes
PART 6
The sun always returns!
Storms never stay forever. They blow through, rain down, and then they leave. Soon, the sky turns bright blue and the sun shines again.
My teacher will let us know when our weather drill is finished. We can return to our normal day feeling proud and safe!
