Today we practiced for an earthquake drill in the East and West Wings. We talked about what to do when your teacher says “drop and cover”.
“Drop”: the teachers will be demonstrating the earthquake protection drill by calling out the commands to ‘drop and cover’.
“Cover”: the drill has you drop to your knees where you are and place your hands over the back of your neck.
Then fold down over your thighs in ‘child’s pose’ while protecting the back of your neck. While there, we will sing one song then listen for the teachers direction.
Safety drills will be occurring next week – that’s listening to the bell and walking outside with the teachers.
