The SK students went on a field trip to the Children's Safety Village. They spent the morning learning about 911 emergency, pedestrian safety, and strangers. Officer O'Neil and the Co-op students taught the children when it is the proper time to call 911 and the information they need to know during an emergency. The students went to three different groups where they had opportunities in practicing calling 911, talking about the difference between a bad and a good stranger, and road safety. Afterwards we went outside into the safety village where the students practised crossing the street. Parents, we encourage you to talk about what happened at the safety village with your child. It is important that they know their phone number and home address in case of an emergency. In addition, parents can discuss when to call 911, what to do when a stranger approaches them and what to do when crossing a street.
Before we left Elmer the safety elephant came to visit us and to tell the boys and girls to stay safe!
