Reading, 5 Part Orchestra-Like Activity and Saanich Safety Presentation

Tuesday afternoon began with reading...Most of the students love reading, and so do I, so it is a great time for all of us to travel to many fabulous places quietly together in our minds.  I was on a futuristic planet with a crew trying to save the world from aliens.... then I was back in the class making sure the locals were on task and reading.... ahhh

The Joy of Reading

The students played 5 different instruments along with music

The Saanich Fire department, the emergency response group  and members of the Saanich First aid and paramedics did a presentation to our class on safety during an Emergency.  The program centered around the Emergency Kit which each house should have.  The students played relay games to pick out essential things for the kit.  Along with many games they also reviewed what to do during earthquakes, fires (at school and home) tsunami's and other major earth shaking activities.  The students were given the basic parts of a care kit to take home and discuss with you, the parents.  Take the time tonight, or in the next few days to talk to your children about the safety kit and about a safety plan in case of emergency.

The activity went from 1:45 to 2:45 and was over quickly with the students reviewing a lot of great information about being safe during an emergency.  Great Job everyone ... See you all tomorrow.  Mr. W
