Safety 101

Fourth grade, in one of their Spanish classes today, was learning about safety and accident prevention. Miss Nancy, the fourth grade teacher, sent them out in groups of about 3 to share with the other grades for a few minutes what they were learning. Andre, Sara and Katy came in to our third grade math class to share some very important and practical tips, such as "Don't run in the hallways" and "Don't slide down the banisters" (a very important one at PROMESA, considering the number of steps and banisters we have!).
My favorite one, however, was Andre's lesson on street crossing. In all seriousness and with a sense of maturity coming from being in fourth grade, he told the third graders: "Before you cross the street you should look both ways. Otherwise a car could come and hit you. Y eso no es muy agradable! (and that's not a very pleasant thing!)"
It was all I could do to contain myself...
