Never Talk to Strangers


One of the things that we are learning about this week is strangers.  See the list of rules that we came up with and review them with your child at home.

1. Always stay with your parents or babysitter.  If they tell you to stay in the front yard then stay in the front yard.

2. If a stranger approaches you, back away.  If the stranger comes closer, run away and yell, "I don't know you.  You're a stranger."

3. Never go anywhere with a stranger even if they try and give you a treat or candy.

4. If you are lost and you need to talk to a stranger find a mom with kids or someone at a cash register.

5. Talk to your parents about how to answer the phone when they are not home.

Bus Safety


The Albert Lea Bus company came and talked to students about bus safety today (Monday, September 19th).  Students learned how to get on and off the bus-hold the railing, learned where the danger zone is around the bus (have to stand 10 feet away so bus driver can see them), how to evacuate the bus if there was ever an emergency and they needed to get off, and many other safety rules about riding the bus.  After the bus company left all of the kindergarteners took a quiz to check their understanding of the bus procedures.

ABB (red, green, green, red, green, green),
and ABC (red, green, yellow, red, green, yellow) patterns.

Here is some fun pattern games/videos that your child can watch adn play at home.
