D.J   Hi! I am DJ, and I am in the Gifted And Talented Enrichment (G.A.T.E.) Program. I am in fifth grade and I am 10 years old. I am a boy. I like Pokemon and card games. I like Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and French Fries. I like to sit around and read a good book. I like the Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings. I wanted to do the hurricane page because my Grammy lives in Florida and has been in a couple of hurricanes before and I am festinated by their power and the destruction they cause. They teach us to respect nature and its power. I liked doing hurricanes a lot.        Gabby   Hi! My name is Gabby. I love to dance and I hope that I can be a successful ballerina when I grow up. I did the earthquakes web page. I enjoyed learning about different things about earthquakes.   Thanassi My name is Thanassi and I created the volcano web page. I like to read, play games, and go on the computer. I also like to play at my friends’ house and watch T.V. I really liked researching volcanoes. I hope you like it!   Theresa   Hello. My name is Theresa, and I am part of the Gifted And Talented Enrichment program. I also created the Tornadoes web page on the Natural Disasters home page. I am ten years old and in my spare time, I like to read a good book. I am a very good friend and love going places! I chose the Tornado as my topic for three reasons. The first on is that I like nature and I wanted to know more about them for future reference. Another reason is that tornadoes are very violent and I want others to know how strong they are and how to be safe. With the help of my group, we got the rest of the big web page down smoothly and didn’t argue a lot. Now that we are getting it ready for all of the viewers, we hope that this information will give you a better knowledge of dangerous encounters of the world.   Tyler   My name is Tyler, and I helped with the “Natural Disasters” home page. I also made the “Hurricanes” web page. I am part of one of the 14 G.A.T.E. (Gifted And Talented Enrichment) groups in my school. I love to play soccer, baseball, video games, and with my dog, Snoopy. I also like to watch TV (especially the NFL). I hope you like our website!   Ms. Allen     I am the Gifted And Talented Enrichment (G.A.T.E.)
