    Shake it up Baby, Twist and Shout... The Great California Shake Out

    By Pixel  |  Posted October 16, 2009  |  Los Angeles, California
     

    The 4th grade children of the L.B. Weemes Elementary School participated in the Great California Shake Out today, at the California Science Center. Together we all experienced the largest Earthquake Drill in History.

    I was impressed with the children.They were polite, well behaved and attentive. The "Yogi Bear's Quakey- Shakey- School House" was the place to be! The children were able to experience an earthquake and learn what to do when one hits. I was lucky enough to join them as they experienced this quake. I watched as they anticipated the quakes arrival,, a luxury we wouldn't have. I saw their thrill and fear when it finally hit. Their teacher Lori Armin was surprised how real it felt.
    Our children need to be educated on safety and steps to follow during an earthquake. We are in California  and the drills are a part of life... as I remember very well  as a child. The procedures have been updated since then.
    I was glad to see the L.B.Weemes school and their wonderful children participate today.
