• We follow the 4 B's at all times in the classroom:

    • Be Safe

  • Be Safe

    For our class, we will be doing some hands-on activities. These activities may have potential hazards. We could use some equipment that may be dangerous if not handled properly. We must always Be Safe in the classroom. Additional safety instructions will be given for each activity. Report any unsafe behavior to the teacher immediately.
