The Got 2B Safe! Awards Program recognizes those teachers with the greatest commitment to teaching child safety. Since 2005, nearly 4,000 teachers from across the country have submitted essays and lesson plans on how they implement the Got 2B Safe! Four Rules of Safety into their classrooms. To date, 20 Grand Prize winners and nearly 400 first prize winners have been recognized.

I could not have read about the Got 2B Safe! program at a better time! I am a 4th grade special education teacher who works with two general education teachers in New York. There are a total of 50 students in our Blended Program. Due to the already full curriculum, it is critical to find ways to integrate character and safety information into lessons.

After looking through the program I easily adjusted my plans to integrate Got 2B Safe! information into writing lessons and exercises that will benefit students, while teaching valuable information about safety. For example, I am beginning lessons on a required writing style and this contest essay happens to be a perfect model. At the same time, it will serve as an introduction to Got 2B Safe!. The activities and questions are great for daily journal responses.

Another example of integrating Got 2B Safe! elements into our day is by using an overhead projector to enlarge posters of the “Four Rules Of Safety”. Specific students use the overhead projector to work on fine-motor skills and focusing on details. The Got 2B Safe! wall posters are ideal for this activity. Students can present the posters at Morning Program, where over 600 students gather in the gym to begin their day. Time is given each morning for presentations such as this. The “Four Rules Of Safety” will reinforce and give structure to other presentations given by local police and community helpers.

As a result of creating this program, Honeywell has made it possible to easily integrate the Got 2B Safe! program and teach it to the children.
