Safety

This week we learned about fire safety and emergencies. 

First, we read "Fire Safety," by Peggy Pancella. Then, we made a list of safety tips. 
1. Fires are dangerous. Do not hide--get outside!
2. Be safe around smoke. Stay low and go!
3. Learn your escape plan and teach it to anyone who cares for you at home, such as babysitters.
4. Keep a flashlight near your bed in case you have to escape in the dark.
5. Hang a list of emergency numbers near your telephone.
6. Adults can use fire extinguishers to put out small fires. 

Then we made a mini fire safety booklet! For homework, everyone had to come up with a fire safety plan with their family. 



The next day, we read, "Stop, Drop and Roll," by Margery Cuyler. We learned that if your clothes catch fire you should STOP, DROP and ROLL; We practiced this a few times.
After, we did a craft! The grade 1's and 2's wrote about how they can stay safe around fires and the kindergartens made a fire dog! 


On Friday we finished our Safety unit! We learned about emergencies. In groups, we discussed...

1. What is an emergency?
2. What should you do in an emergency?
3. Who helps in an emergency?
4. When should you call 911?
5. What should you do if you don't know if something is an emergency?

After discussing these questions we played an emergency card game. For this game we had to decide if certain scenarios were emergencies or not. Then we did role plays to show what to do if you are involved in an emergency!
