Safety Week Update...

On Monday during specials, we had a 911 training at Sunflower for our PM KDG, all day KDG and our 1st graders. We watched a video that talked about all the different kinds of phones that could be used to call 911 in an emergency. They learned some of the questions that might be asked of them when they call. Some students even did a practice call with a fake emergency. It was determined that most kiddos could use some practice knowing their address and phone number. As a review, you might see if your kiddo knows how to call 911 (gets tricky in homes with only cell phones...can they get into the phone, do they know where to get to the emergency number?) Thanks for helping them be safe! Additionally, we have spent each morning talking about all different ways to stay safe. Today we had our severe weather drill and tomorrow we will practice our intruder drill. The kids are doing an amazing job thinking of ways to stay safe in all different situations. From playground safety to car safety to stranger safety to street safety, we have had some great discussions about all of the different ways to be safe and smart in all sorts of places. You may want to find an opportunity this evening or some time this week to talk with your child about some important safety tips that we have talked about in class.
