In the friendly town of Sunnyville, a group of curious kids gathered to learn
about staying safe during emergencies. Mrs. Sunny, their wise teacher,
decided to teach them about natural disasters.

One sunny afternoon, Mrs. Sunny began with the topic of earthquakes. She
explained that earthquakes make the ground tremble and sometimes
shake. To stay safe during an earthquake, she advised the kids to pull up
under their desks or tables until the shaking stops. Mrs. Sunny also
mentioned the importance of listening to the authority figures, like teachers
and parents, for guidance.

Next, they delved into tornadoes, those swirling winds that could cause a
lot of damage. Mrs. Sunny taught them that tornadoes often form a
spinning funnel of wind. If there was a tornado warning, the kids were told
to head to a safe place and protect themselves. Mrs. Sunny also
recommended having an emergency kit ready with essentials like snacks,
water, and a flashlight.

As they moved on to volcanic eruptions, Mrs. Sunny explained how


volcanoes could erupt with hot lava and ash. She emphasized the need to
follow the instructions of rescue workers during evacuations and to keep a

property.

Fahrenheit, explaining it's a unit to measure temperature. She said it's
