Here's a safety tip for groups going on field trips. We're all
accustomed to putting name tags on our children, but this is not a good
idea for young children on field trips to public places. A young child
will not consider someone who calls him/her by name to be a stranger, so
a name tag may actually put the child in danger. Instead, consider tags
that reads, "Hi! I'm on a field trip with _______________ school!"

Today in school we had a local policeman come in to talk to the students
about summer safety. He used a set pictures which were labeled from D.A.R.E.
about summer safety. These pictures were extremely interesting and kept the
children's attention. The children learned a lot.

Our safety unit comes two weeks before then end of our school year when
our Pre-K's are gearing up for summer and Kindergarten beyond that. Our
local school district's transportation dept. has a Bus Safety Team that
visits the elementary schools and any preschools who request it. They not
only put on a wonderful program but take our children outside to the
waiting school bus for a hands on demonstration of how to board, ride, and
exit. Then to top it off, we take a bus ride around town to practice being
quiet at railroad crossings. The children love it and we've gotten only
positive feedback from our parents.

For an easy first aid kit that is portable, try a fanny pack (waist
pouch) filled with Band-Aids, tissues, Neosporin, etc. Whenever you are
ready to go outside or on a field trip, grab the fanny pack first aid kit
and you are ready to go. Hands-free and very convenient.

Here are a few ideas to practice with Fire Safety. *Holding a blanket a
the height of your knees, let the children crawl under it to pretend it is
smoke. This is a great way to practice evacuating a building that already
has smoke. *Practice Stop, Drop, and Roll. *Get the parents to practice
with their children evacuation routes out of their homes, and get them to
send them into school to discuss with the children. *Practice 911. Three
year olds are not to young. One of ours actually used it when he saw the
neighbors house on fire!

I know this sounds simple but it has helped my class
tremendously. I made t-shirts for all of my students to wear on field
trips. They're red with our school's name done in fabric paint. It's
amazing how much easier it is to keep track of the kids and gather them up
when needed. Even my parents like to idea. We keep the shirts at school
and use them year after year.

I used a catalog to help the children understand what a
stranger was during our discussion about safety. The children were better
able to understand what a stranger was when I used pictures of attractive
models. I would ask, "Is this a stranger?" Since the person was
attractive, they immediately said, "NO!" I was able to explain
to them that because they did not know who this person was; what their
name was, who they were - this person was a stranger.

My idea has to do with fire drills. I made a fire drill
log sheet to be posted near the fire extinguisher. It contains the
date, children present, type of drill either announced, surprise, smoke
alarm, etc. I also do a fire drill each Monday to refresh the little
memories and then again during the week. I do this with my a.m. group and
p.m. group. My groups are great at fire drills. we also have rules... no
toys, no pushing, no screaming., older ones help smaller ones, listen to
adult give directions, form a line and meet in designated are , form a
circle with children under age 3 in the middle. I am proud to say my boys
and girls deserve medals each drill!
