Today was "Walk to School Day" and our class had a lot of fun walking to school together! We lead the entire school as we followed the fire truck on our walk to school. Once we arrived at Stamford we ate a healthy snack and then listened to the fire men talk about fire safety. We learned important fire safety facts and all of the students had a lot of great questions to ask! Back in the classroom, we practiced dialing 911 and discussed the importance of having a family meeting place and knowing what to do if there is an emergency. Please extend this conversation at home and share with your children what they should do in case of an emergency.
On another note, we have made it through the first month of school and it has been wonderful! The students have done an excellent job at transitioning into kindergarten, learning our classroom schedule, and our routines! I am still using the Traffic Light system for classroom management and the students have responded really well to it. They enjoy staying in the green and especially like it when it's their turn to choose from the treasure box!
