What a fantastic field trip we had to Safety City today in Druid Hill Park! We had a chance to play for a while on the park's beautiful playground equipment with many of our other 6th age friends and eat our snack there, while we waited for our turn to learn how to be safe in Safety City. Once it was our turn to visit the miniature Baltimore City, we learned several songs to help us remember what to do when crossing the street, etc.,took turns practicing how to walk in the crosswalks and obey the traffic signals and signs, and each of us had a turn to practice riding our own "motorbike" safely around the streets. Everyone had lots of fun and earned a Safety City certificate to bring home with them on the bus. We also loved eating our own lunches brought from home, in our classrooms, after we returned to Calvert. Be sure to ask your child what he or she learned today on our field trip!
Sincerely,
Louise Catlin
