Dear Families,
I took come time to answer students questions and concerns. The students understand that no one was hurt. Students that frequent the ranch were particularly concerned and we discussed that the ranch would likely be re-built and that we would just have to be patient, like when we were waiting for our school to open. This seemed to ease a lot of the students concerns.
The students asked if we could make the owners and people who work at the ranch a card. I think it is important to follow through on this request and we will be sending a card next week. We talked a lot about empathy and I was very proud of the students in 1C.
The fire opened up a discussion of fire safety...
When one students shared their home fire safety plan with the class, many of the students did not know what this was. Please take time to review your family's fire evacuation plan or create one with your child. I assured the students that they are safe in their homes and that homes have smoke detectors to keep us safe. We talked about the fact that fire drills at school and evacuation practice at home are the same thing, practice to keep us safe. Students were not anxious but excited to create at plan for home!
Thank you,
Ms. Bakkan
