Happy Easter, Mouse!<\/a>

Booktalk:<\/strong> Help Mouse find out who is leaving Easter eggs all over the house!<\/p>\n

STEM Haiku<\/strong><\/p>\n

tornado<\/em>
\ndark sky, funnel clouds
\ntwirling, swirling, lifting high
\ntwisting, tossing…gone…

The sirens went off three times Tuesday afternoon, but the 13(!) tornadoes didn’t pass directly over our house, thank goodness!<\/p>\n

If you didn’t see the tractor trailers lifted up by the tornado, watch this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
