All Stars p. 122-23 Safety warnings
The we looked at our medicine labels for warnings and details.
We distinguished between illness/sickness and injury.
Injury: broken arm, sprained ankle
Sickess/illness: sore throat, stomachache
We talked about problems with reading label directions. What do you do if your child takes too much medicine?
All Stars p. 124-5 Emergencies
We learned:
What is an emergency?
Who do you call?
***If you call 9-1-1 by mistake, do NOT hang up. Tell them that you made a mistake. ***
***If you call 9-1-1 to report an emergency, it is faster to say "anonymous" instead of trying to spell your name and details. Focus on details of the emergency.
Present progressive: Emergencies are in process so we use the present progressive.
