The Avalanche

Friday we had a FANTASTIC Afterschooling day. We talked about Avalanche's and did a fun science experiment. And just to prove that we learned something we decided to write a story about an Avalanche. We all worked together and tried to add some good Avalanche lingo...

THE AVALANCHE

written by:

Our Family

There was a peaceful town in Colorado. Matthew lived in a house close to the mountains. There was a storm blowing and the wind was pushing the snow. It started snowing new fresh snow like crazy. Matthew was worried that there would be an avalanche. He could see a heavy layer of snow forming from the East. Just then the snow began to fall and Matthew heard a loud noise. He could see a mountain with snow rolling down. He could see the starting zone of a heavy avalanche. He evacuated his home as fast as he could for his home was located in the run out zone. The only place of safety was down by the road where his vehicle waited for him to drive away fast and get away from the avalanche. He watched sadly as his home was destroyed. Weeks past and the only evidence of the avalanche were the tracks that it left behind. Because his home was destroyed by an avalanche Matthew decided to move to a warmer climate where hopefully he will stay clear of rock slides.
