Parent Newsletter: Ninth Week of School




Dear Parents,
     This week our main focus centered on safety. Today we specifically learned about safety on the streets. We learned about the different traffic signs and what they mean. We even discussed what the color of sign represent. To begin the lesson I taught the children what the different colors signs mean. We discussed that red means stop or caution, yellow means hazardous or warning, green means go or can be used to display directions, and blue shows information such as hospitals and airports. Then we viewed the signs on transparencies and discussed what each sign means. For example, the first sign we learned was the stop sign. the kids were able to see the sign and understand what it means. We did this for a number of signs including stop lights, yield, walk, one way, and railroad crossing. This lesson really informed the children and I hope they are more aware of street safety.
                                                                                        Sincerely,
                                                                                         Ms. Gammell
