6th Grade Ottawa Core-Guest Speaker

All across the grade level, 6th graders in our school are learning about cause and effect through the study of natural disasters and the human experience. To deepen their level of understanding of the effects of hurricanes, Mrs. Nielsen of the Ottawa core invited guest speaker, Tim Ellis to talk with the students. Tim and his family were survivors of Hurricane Katrina, the 3rd most destructive natural disaster in American history. Here are a couple of shots during his talk with the 6th graders in Ottawa. Thank you, Mr. Ellis, for your time!
