She had seen the danger up close and began to tell everyone what could happen if they were not careful. “CHECK FIRST”, she would say, “with your parents before you go. Don't go with people you don't know and always GO WITH A FRIEND. It is much safer. You have the right to say no. IT'S YOUR BODY. Don't let anyone touch you in a way that makes you uncomfortable. If you ever feel unsafe , TELL A TRUSTED ADULT like a parent, teacher or a police officer.” Eventually, people began to listen to the little girl. Parents and teachers began to teach the children safety rules and the children began to practice them. Soon this little school felt even safer because they knew how to deal with the dangers.

During Phase II, I will engage the students in lessons using the Got 2B Safe! Think Smart and Take Charge! materials. Throughout the lessons, I will emphasize the “Four Rules Of Safety.”

For Phase III, we will have a series of safety speakers for a week during the school year. Each day, representatives from the local police and fire departments, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or various community members will come to the school to offer helpful tips and valuable information.

The final phase will encompass a student safety contest. Students will be instructed to design a border for the school bulletin board that illustrates the “Four Rules Of Safety.” The winner will have their border displayed for the school year.

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.

If someone tries to give you
Candy or food
Just turn the other way
You don't have to be rude.

Tell a teacher or adult
If you're scared or in doubt.
Say NO to all actions
That might freak you out!

Example:
Imani is participant on a chat site for kids. She knows people in “real life” but many live in other cities. Morgan will be coming through town and wants to get together. She asks Imani for her home phone number and address. Morgan suggests they meet at the mall, and Imani agrees, but wants Imani's home info anyway in case she is delayed. Do you think Imani made a good choice by saying she would meet Morgan? Should she give her home info out? How can you apply the “Four Rules Of Safety” to this situation to help Imani out?

Students will be given time to discuss and reflect on the situation. After careful discussion of the scenarios, students will create a commercial for their peers that include the “Four Rules Of Safety.” This commercial will be uploaded to the classroom website where their peers and parents can view it from home.
