Letter to Families

Dear Family,
 
We don’t expect to have a fire in our home, but we still install smoke detectors. We don’t expect to have a car accident, but we still purchase car insurance and we are required to use seatbelts. While we plan for our families, we also need to remember any pets that we might have. They depend on us to keep them safe and not left behind.  During the next several class periods, our class will be learning about ways to prepare for emergencies.

Each day ask your child what was discussed in class about this unit. We invite your input as well. At the end of the unit we will be developing a plan to inform people about how important it is to be prepared during an emergency and creating emergency evacuation packets to donate to some special friends in our community.

Sincerely,
