The
earthquakes
in Haiti and Chilé have caused horrific death and devastation.
Our prayers and support are with the people of these countries. To help
your students learn more about earthquakes and Haiti check out this special
literature with Kids' Wings activities and lesson plans:
The
Earth Dragon Awakes
by Laurence Yep--the powerful historical fiction story of the San Francisco
earthquake of 1906 personifies the earthquake while viewing the earthquake's
aftermath and devastation from the eyes of two very different families,
a poor family from China Town and a wealthy banking family. The unit includes
a complimentary Jeopardy-type game and three professionally recorded earthquake
songs for only $12.95, sharable within your school!
Selavi by Youme -- In a beautiful land filled with the darkness of violence and political unrest, orphaned children roam the streets of Haiti in search of the light of family and security. Here, they tell their story, a story of being taken in and sheltered beneath wings of hope. Today, we see some of the SAME problems with Hatian orphans in Selavi repeated. The four pages of powerful activities for Selavi will be included free with your purchase of The Earth Dragon Awakes.
Earthquake Terror -- Peg Kehret's best selling, most exciting survival adventure set in California during the 1989 earthquake. It doesn't get any more exciting than this! We consider this the landmark book for reluctant readers. Reluctant readers who begin to read this book will not put it down, and once they do, they will not consider reading boring again!
