Children return to school 3 weeks after California wildfire
Bella (8 year old girl) woke up at a Best Western hotel and was soon off to school for the first time in nearly a month. "They're ready to get back", Bella's mother Erica Hail, said about her children. At school, "they get to have time alone in their own space and their own grade and they get to just be themselves".
Schools in the county have been closed because of the wildfire and destroying nearly 14,000 homes and killing at least 88 people int the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century. About 31,000 students in all have been away from school since the disaster. On Monday, most students went back but some had to attend classes in other buildings because off the school being destroyed or damaged, or inaccessible inside evacuation zones.
Analysis: This is good that the students are able to get back in their same routine and furthering there education. This article was written by Johnathan J. Cooper on today. I think his reason for writing this article was to give a update on one of the deadliest fires in a century and how the people are doing after the wildfire. This article relates to history through other natural disasters, the U.S. has gone through. For example, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Harvey, and in 2016 Great Smoky Mountains wildfires. When people go through these natural disasters we have to find ways to bounce back to our normal lives and be able to recover what was lost due to it. This is another example of how we have to work together as a nation to fix the damages.
I think it’s good news that the studs are able to go back to school so they don’t fall behind in their academic classes. ~ Stephannie Hernandez
ReplyDeleteI am glad that they can go back to their school or a building to continue learning again. I think that this could have brought them(students, teachers,etc.) closer together since the fires effected mostly everyone in the area.
ReplyDeleteThis is great news especially for the students being able to go back to school and continue their normal lives.
