Today was such a beautiful sunny day! We started our day with reading the AlphaTales book "Hide and Seek Hippo"for our new letter H! Our new sight word of the week is "are." I taught students the digraph "ar" makes the "Arrr" sound that pirates make and the "e" in the word "are" is silent. We guessed what pictures I have in my Question can that begin with the letter H. After that we did Calendar, counting up to 92 the ones, five and tens ways and our Daily News. We went outside and enjoyed the sunshine during recess. We had a math story today where we had to draw the number bond to go with the story. We also had our second lesson of Personal Safety today.
The focus of today's lesson is: Always Ask First Rule! We learned that following the Always Ask First Rule helps you stay safe.
Why this lesson matters: Asking permission from the parent or person in charge protects students from dangerous situations and helps parents and caregivers know what students are doing. Most young students know they should not go anywhere with strangers, but it is important for them to ask for permission to go with someone they know, too, because most sexual abusers are someone the student knows.
During the lesson, we practiced that even if something seems safe, we need to ask the adult in charge first. For example, if a family friend asks the child to come play at the park, the student should reply, "I need to ask my mom if I can play at the park."
