Signs That Keep Us Safe

Answering the question "How Do I Keep Myself Safe?" included many fun lessons.  We learned how to know if a situation is an emergency, how to call 9-1-1 if we are ever in danger, how to stay safe around water, not to play with containers, and the kids' favorite-signs that keep us safe!
 
After learning about different kinds of signs we took a trip around the school grounds to see how many signs we could spot.
 
Anna and Dawson spotted the Stop Sign at H and Harrison
Alexander and Sloane found the Do Not Enter sign by the back parking lot 
Taylor and Ian remind us that there are No Left Turns onto Harrison street 
Sarah Kate and Bella know to always drive 25 when children are present 
 Savannah and Tyler know we should never use cell phones while driving, especially during school hours and in the carpool line
Samantha and Cameron are happy to help our handicapped parishioners find a spot right up front 
Mary Millicent shows us where to safely cross the street 
Ava and Julian know not to block the parking lot entrance when we park 
So many signs right by our school to keep all of the Wabbits safe!

Although we did not see a stop light on our walk, it was our favorite traffic sign to learn about.  Must be that it has such a fun game associated with it!

While learning all about staying safe we continued our Alphabet Study with the letter B!  Our Journal entry for the week was an image of a bumble bee, which have so much personality you just can't help but smile!
 
Another fun B activity the kids enjoyed was making blue butter! 
One mason jar + one cup of heavy whipping cream + one dash of salt + one blue teddy bear counter +  one teaspoon of blue food coloring + LOTS of shaking = blue butter!
 Blue Butter tastes especially good on ritz crackers...yum!
 
Our special apple recipe for the week was to make apple pies.  
First, squish a biscuit into the bottom of a muffin tin.
Second, top with a heaping spoonful of apple pile filling. 
Third, bake and enjoy!
