Got2BSafe, Got 2 B Safe

The Fair:
On the day of the Fair, I will have student greeters at the door of our classroom handing out the bookmarks to the students. I will then allow the students to show off their posters, read their poems or raps and perform their skits. Bookmark creators will also be acknowledged then.

Follow Up:
As a follow up, I will take digital pictures of each student that will go on a “Got-2-Be-Safe!” mini-poster for their refrigerator at home. This mini-poster will include spots for the students to write in the four rules which we will then laminate.

After the assembly each classroom will create a safety mural, showing the four safety skills learned. The murals will be distributed throughout the community to teach about safety. We will also record on video our students performing the safety skit and singing the 'Got 2B Safe' song. This video will be given to our local police department to use for school presentations in the future.

'Got 2B Safe'
Chorus: (2x)
Got 2B safe
Got 2B strong
Got 2 think smart
Got 2 take care of my body

Rap:
Got 2 check first with my parents
Got 2 always stay with a friend
Got 2 tell a trusted adult when I’m in doubt
Got 2 take care of my self
Got 2 do what I know is right
And then I know everything will all work out

Chorus (2x)

Other cases might say, "A middle school kid offered me some candy on the bus, but I said no thanks." The class would reply GOOD DEAL.

After all the cases have been opened, students would review all the safety rules and then go play the game in first and second grade classrooms so other students in our school will also learn the BIG DEAL about safety.

I would have students:

- Engage in daily discussion of the rules
- Illustrate pictures for a classroom display
- Compose a song and dance
- Apply the rules to seasonal safety
- Use writing as a creative tool to explore the rules (writing about a time that you used a rule, presenting a scenario and having students record a response, composing poems)
- Produce books that can be shared with others
- Design safety posters that explain the importance of the rules
- Role-play situations so students can practice finding their own voice to speak out if they’re ever in a dangerous situation
- Compose a play
- Share in a class discussion about the safety rules with law enforcement and firefighters.

By having several lessons that make my own students “teachers” of the Got 2B Safe! rules, they will gain a deeper understanding that will help them make quick decisions when needed.

Rule Number One is simple you see,
before you go with anyone, who is not family,
Check first with your parents or guardians,
Doesn’t matter where,
Doesn’t matter when.
Even if it is a relative or a friend.

Rule Number Two is safe and fun.
You must travel in twos,
And never as one.
It isn’t safe to be alone,
So before you leave,
Just pick up that phone.
A friend will be there,
You can count on that,
And if they can’t,
Just stay where you’re at.

Rule Number Three, is about one’s place,
To never invade your personal space.
You have the right to say,
“Please stay out of my comfort zone,” or
“I really would like it if you left me alone.”

Rule Number Four, is all about trust,
If it doesn’t feel right,
Telling someone’s a must!
A trusted adult will help you out,
It’s never your fault,
Just tell them about
Anyone or anything
Don’t be in doubt.

If you follow these rules,
I can promise one thing,
You’ll be happy with the peace and comfort safety brings.
