Tiger Take Home for Tuesday Nov. 18th

Tiger Take Home
Complete pages 52-56, Family Activity 3F. These are very important safety plans for you and your Tiger. We are not going to count fire drills at school as completion of this requirement. It needs to be a plan for what your Tiger should do if there is ever a fire in your home. Below are some tips from the Fire Departments website. Then you will also discuss with your Tiger what to do if they ever become lost.
Practicing Home Escape Plans
-Every family needs a home fire escape plan. When you make your plan, try to identify two ways out of each room (one way out might be the window, the other could be the door).
-Make sure that doors and other exits out of your home are clear of toys, furniture, and other clutter.
-If someone in your home needs help getting around (an infant, or a grandparent), make sure that another member of the family has been assigned to help them in the event of a fire.
-Choose a safe place to meet outside after you've left your home.
-Make sure that everyone in your home knows the fire department's emergency number and understands to get out first and then call for help.
-Most important of all: practice your home escape plan twice a year. You never know when you'll have to use it!
