September is National Preparedness Month and so I've been gathering some online resources to share with you and with my boys. Enjoy.
FEMA Ready Kids Includes information on creating an emergency supply kit and developing an emergency plan. Also includes games, coloring pages, songs, etc.
Ready Classroom Emergency Preparedness for teachers, students and families. Includes videos on fire drills, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes and many other topics.
American Red Cross Masters of Disaster Grade level appropriate disaster preparedness curriculum created by the American Red Cross. Includes educators kit, family kit, activity sheets, etc.
U.S. Fire Administration for Kids Fire safety, games and resources for parents and teachers.
This is a short list but there's a lot of good information covered on each site. If you have a favorite that I've yet to share please leave a link in the comments.
Thanks,
Hi Penny,
ReplyDeleteSince he's interested in words and is writing now, how about incorporating vocab. with spelling and everyone learning a new word each day. You can choose one that you feel would be the right challenge and everyone has to use it in a sentence at dinner time (mommy and daddy included) and also, everyone has to spell it aloud. That gives both boys a chance to master it and to hear it repeated.....just an idea :)
That's a wonderful idea Kim..I'll give it a try!
