Teacher, Did You Hear the News?: A Book About Safety Drills

MEET PHILLIP.....

A 1st grader who is SUPER excited about school, but NOT super excited about school drills.

His teacher helps take away some fears while teaching the class that drills must be taken seriously!

D to the R to the I-L-L....I know it’s just a DRILL...but we MUST do it WELL!!

--Attention, Educators and Parents!

Drills can feel scary-or even silly-to kids.

So what they really need is structure, support, and a little rhythm to help them remember what to do!

As a school social worker, I supported many students through fire drills, tornado drills, and lockdowns.

Some were nervous and worried.

Some didn’t take it seriously and giggled.

But all of them needed guidance.

Let’s practice safety with purpose-without the panic!
