9-1-1

One of Lucy's class activities during the day is to have a project based learning time. A few weeks ago during this time her class learned about safety and ways to stay safe. One of the parts of safety they learned about was 9-1-1 and what it meant to call that number and how to do so. I thought this was great, especially since we haven't ever talked to the girls about this. I think we've discussed needing to do this, but just never have. Then we realized the girls didn't know how to use our phones to make a phone call. They know how to play games, watch videos, and take/look at pictures, but they don't know how to use the phone as it's main function - a telephone. We had a fun night teaching them how to use our phones and calling Gumma and Poppy and Aunt Stephanie. We also practiced calling 9-1-1, and made sure they know to never call this number unless it actually is an emergency.

The drawing below is the phone Lucy drew at school during this unit. I just love her artwork!
