Hurricane Melissa’s Impact on Jamaica: Kids Article Package with Worksheets

Explore the devastating yet inspiring story of Hurricane Melissa’s Impact on Jamaica in this educational article package designed for young learners. Students will uncover how the 185 mph storm affected Jamaica’s southwest coast, damaged historic landmarks, and changed the lives of thousands. Through powerful storytelling, visuals, and creative activities, learners will reflect on resilience, teamwork, and the power of rebuilding after disaster.

Why This Resource Stands Out:

• Brings a real-world environmental event into the classroom with clarity and empathy

• Ideal for disaster awareness lessons, social studies, or cross-curricular projects

This article package is perfect for teachers seeking to blend current events, global awareness, and creative expression. With real-life context and hands-on learning, it inspires empathy and curiosity while celebrating the strength of communities facing challenges.
