Safety City, was a small scale replica of Baltimore. Sixth Age students took a guided tour of the city and practiced safely crossing the streets.
Ms. Harrison taught us that we need to look FOUR ways before crossing: left, right, left over our shoulder, and forward. We practiced the appropriate crossing technique as we traveled through Safety City. We also learned that when crossing a street we must always walk in the middle of the crosswalk.
At the end of our walking tour, students were able to ride big wheels through the city. Each friend needed to stop their "vehicle" at a stop sign and look to be sure traffic was clear before taking a right turn. We looked left, right, and then left again.
As we rode the bus back to Calvert school (sitting with our buddies) we looked outside of the windows to spy signs that we recognized as well as crosswalks.
