In this chapter, the kids pull off a pretty amazing rescue. After you read, use your best paragraph writing skills to answer the following questions:

1. How did they get to Mrs. Smiley?

2. What was she doing when they found her?

3. How did Smiley react to their rescue plan? Why?

They used a table as a slid and that was Arthur's idea from what he knew someone did with a sled before. When they found Mrs. Smiley she was sleeping and snoring. She did not like the idea of the boxes at all or the sofa and the springs not that much either. Because she thought she was to old and fragile, at 81.

They used flashlight to look for her and they found her sleeping on the couch she slept through the storm and they had to try and get her out  she was Surprised but had a good spirit about it and was making jokes kind of

Dan and Arthur got to Mrs. Smiley house by running there and climbing threw the window and they found her in the living room. She was curled up on the sofa sleeping. Mrs. Smiley reacted to their rescue plan by thinking she was dreaming because she said when I wake up I'll just know I never did this.

When the kids found mom she said that Miss Smiley was stuck down in her basement. So Dan Arthur and Stacy ran all the way to Miss Smileys house to save her. When they got there the house was half gone so it was hard to find the basement. But then Dan and Arthur heard something they started to follow the sound, the sound led to a big part of the roof that was on top of a door in the floor. When Dan and Arthur opened the door they saw Miss Smiley asleep. Once Miss Smiley woke up Dan and Arthur came up with a plan and told Miss Smiley. But Miss Smiley said that she was 81 years old and it would be best for the kids to go back and leave her.

They went to her house and used flashlights to look for her and they found her laying on a old sofa sleeping and snoring! She slept through the tornado. They could tell she was nervous but she was being a good sport about it as they tried to get her to the bus.

Do you remember the August day in 1st grade when we had our own tornado emergency in Kokomo? It didn't happen at night, but around 3:00 in the afternoon. Read this excerpt from an article that was published in the Indianapolis Star the day after to learn more about what happened that day.

# data[].attributes.body
Remember what we have learned about facts (true statements that can be proven) and opinions (beliefs we hold or how we think or feel about something) and share three facts and three opinions from the article.

It is a fact that a tornado hit Kokomo on May 6 2016. Another fact is that the tornado tore up a Starbucks. It is a fact that power lines were down. My opinion is that May 6 2016 was a very scary day for the people of Kokomo. I think that the people at the school were scared but they were safe and the kids did a good job showing the parents how to do tornado safety.

What do you think will happen next? Think about everything we have read so far and what you know about storms from your own experience. Press the pink + sign in the bottom right corner to write a response or post a video to share with the class. Title your post with your first name and My Prediction, like this:

Sarah: My Prediction

# data[].attributes.body
My prediction is that the girl wanted her dad to see her and she wanted to see her dad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they will get in the headquarters  and get officer Kelley checked out, because I believe the glass cut his face and eyes. Then I think they will try to find out about Kmart, whether got it by the last tornado or if everybody is safe. Also Dan will try to find out the bowling alley and Goldie. Also he will want to find out about his dad.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Dan is going to tell his mom that a tornado hit the car and broke the glasses of the driver and Dan had to drive back. I think Dans mom is not going to let him go anywhere without her permission because she doesn’t want anything bad to happen to him.
