Tips On Safety From A Local Police Officer

On Wednesday August 19th, we had a special visitor in our classroom.  A police officer came in and talked with our first graders about safety in our homes, neighborhoods, and schools.  After the discussion, the students were allowed to try on some of the "special gear" police officers need in order to keep themselves and others safe.  Here are just a few of the pictures we took during his visit.  Safety is part of the first grade core curriculum. 

1st Day of School

What a GREAT day we had!  Ask your student about "The Runaway Cookies" and the surprise they left for us...

DonorsChoose.org

Donors Choose is a great website that helps teachers get materials for their classrooms through public donations.  I have posted a project on their website to help our classroom.  It is called "Can We Please Just Listen???" and it is posted at:

Any help we could get would be FANTASTIC!  It is so important for 1st graders to hear fluent reading...so check it out!  If you like it, pass it on to family and friends.  Any donation will be incredibly helpful for your student! 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
