“*Dr. Kenneth Zike has said that at least 50% of the children with learning problems referred to the neurological clinic at his hospital had had no traumas, no birth injuries, and no other physical deviations. Their trouble seemed to come from pressure - pressure to do a task that they did not have the maturity to do.”

Officer Buckle Inspired Safety Rules



We read this story together today.  We have been talking about friendship and choosing good reading partners this week.  Have your child retell the story to you tonight!  They loved it!  Afterwards, we made our own safety rules and illustrated them.
Here are their "Rules":

Never talk to strangers.
Never surf when you see a shark.

Never go in a lake when you see alligators in it.

Never play baseball in the house.

Always ride your bike with a helmet.

Don’t play with guns.

Don’t go swimming in a pool when it is green.

Never go surfing when a shark is there.

Stay away from cars.

Don’t smoke marijuana.
(Yeah, this one stopped me in my tracks too...but I chuckled to myself and moved on.)
Never run across the street when cars are coming.

Never jump.

They loved creating these!  Only one child had heard this story before today.  I love when I can bring a funny, good story to them!
