252 Mail Box Prepare a set of envelopes with the first names of all the children in your class. Put the envelopes in a bag and write U.S. Mail on it. Wear a hat similar to what a mail carrier would wear. Gather the children and pull an envelope out of the bag and read the first name, Noah, for example. Explain that you’re not sure who it should go to because there’s someone named Noah in this class but you know another person named Noah, too. Ask the children how you can be sure that the right person gets it. Discuss last names. Write Noah’s last name on the envelope. Repeat this exercise by writing the last names of the rest of the children on their envelope. Invite the children to draw a picture to put in their envelope to take home at the end of the day. Check licensing standards to be sure your classroom meets all safety requirements. Get on the floor and look around your room from the “point of view” of your three year olds. You <strong>may</strong> be surprised to see what the room looks like to them. Do you need to rearrange some things to make your learning environment appealing and safe at the same time? On different days, invite a fire fighter or police officer to visit the class and talk about fire and personal safety. Read a book such as I Can Be Safe by Pat Thomas and discuss safety issues with the children. Put sweaters, jackets, and rain wear in the Dramatic Play Center and talk about wearing different kinds of clothing when it is cold, hot, or rainy outside. Take a pitcher of water to the playground and encourage children to come for a drink when they are thirsty. Invite them to help pour from the pitcher or hold the cup as you pour. Invite the Center’s cook, a nutritionist, or a nurse to your class to talk about the importance of eating healthy foods. Whenever possible, review and practice safety rules. Compliment children who remind each other about being safe. Ask parents to make healthy choices when they bring food to the classroom.
