Detroit Fire Department
Today at school we had a visit from a Fire Fighter from the Detroit Fire Department. She told us about getting out of a house when we hear a fire alarm, not hiding, checking a door with the back of our hand and calling 911. The kids really enjoyed her visit.
Here is a link to the Fire Safety Videos she showed us. Watch them at home with your student and talk to them about what they remember from the presentation. Stop Bullying Now Campaign
Recently in the news I learned about The White House's Conference on Bullying Prevention. Although, the students in our class get along for the most part, it is good for you and your student to be aware of what bullying is and how to deal with it. Below is a link to the Stop Bullying Now Campaign's website with lots of information for kids and parents.
In our class students use the DeBugging steps when another student is bothering them. The steps have proven to be very successful with helping students control their reactions, solve problems independently, and tattle less. We've also discussed that it is very serious if someone is hurting them or their property, and they need to let me know right away.
The DeBugging Steps
1. Ignore 2. Walk Away 3. Talk Friendly 4. Talk Firmly 5. Get Adult Help
