Fire Safety!

Fire safety is very important! Today we practiced fire safety with a fire drill! All the children and teachers did a great job getting out of the building and staying safe! Please be sure to discuss a fire safety plan with your family! Below are some fire safety tips to help you practice fire safety at home!

1. Have an escape plan in case of fire 

2. Find two exit points for every room in the house

3. Pick a meeting place for family

4. Keep children 3 feet away from anything that can get hot

5. Keep lighters and matches out of reach of children

Fine Motor Discovery!

As children develop fine motor skills they develop the ability to accomplish tasks, such as, grasping toys or writing. It is highly imperative that children work to develop fine motor skills. Today at the Academy of Harpeth Village, the children had the opportunity to work on fine motor skills while engaging in a pipe cleaner and colander activity! The children had so much fun lacing pipe cleaners through the holes in the colander! What fun!
