The first day back after the hurricane I read the book, That's Good! That's Bad! by Margery Cuyler. We discussed the students' experiences and I asked everyone to share something that was good and something that was bad about the storm. Later, each child used the book's pattern in a Writer's Workshop piece about the storm. They came up with some great ideas and looking for the positive helped to alleviate some anxiety.
