Friday at school we finished up our safety unit. In this unit we talked about stranger
danger and what to do if a stranger tries to give us something or talk to us. We also talked about who
a stranger is and that not all strangers are bad, but we need to be careful!!
We also
talked about fire safety and what to do in a fire drill. We practiced leaving
school quickly and quietly and listening very carefully to teacher directions.
The kids really did a great job!! We also practiced what to do if our clothes
caught on fire. We would STOP, DROP and ROLL!!!!!
Then, we
talked about what to do if there is an emergency AND what an emergency is (our
house being on fire and NOT losing our favorite toy). We practiced calling 911
(on a pretend phone :)) and speaking slowly as we gave our important
information.
You also got a note about practicing your child’s important information (full name,
address, and phone number). Please keep this sheet at home and practice,
practice, practice!!! We also are practicing at school and the kids are very
excited to get their special surprise once they can say it by memory!!
During
this unit we also talked about street safety!! We even got to go outside and
practice!! We know we need to use the crosswalk, cross quickly, and of course,
LOOK BOTH WAYS!!! We also talked about wearing our bicycle helmets to protect
our heads!!!
To finish
off our safety unit we got to make a SUPER FUN snack. We used graham crackers,
frosting, and m&m’s to make a stoplight.Thank you to the parents that donated the supplies for us to make this fun snack! We also made a stop light on
paper, but I think the snack was their favorite!! We really practiced our
stoplight song and I think the kids know it well so make sure they sing it for
you!! After our delicious snack we watched Officer Buckle and Gloria to
celebrate being super safe kindergarten kids!!
Next week
we will start to learn about American Symbols!! This is one of my favorite
things to teach and we always have a blast!! We also take some pretty awesome pictures!!!
Have a great weekend and enjoy our video capturing our safety fun!!!!
Also I wanted to let you all know that I will be gone Tuesday morning because I will be taking my daughter, Lily, to her first day of preschool, but I will be back after lunch! I told my little friends I would be gone but with the long weekend they will probably forget!
