SKILLs and Safety
On October 31st, students from Jamaica Bay and Flushing Bay were given the opportunity to participate in a presentation given by two officers from the NYPD. The officers came to SKILLs to help our students learn more about safety within the community, as well as expand on what the students have already learned. Students were able to interact with the officers and asked questions that had been prepared in class and questions they thought of on the spot! It was wonderful to see the students getting so involved and wanting to learn as much as possible. The students seemed to be very interested in situations they may have faced in the community before, such as subway safety, what to do if they see a stranger in the community, and how to ask for help if necessary. The officers explained to students how to approach a situation that may not seem safe, as well as what to do if they need help from a subway conductor or MTA worker. The students were then given the chance to practice asking for help, and role play with the officers in different potential situations! We plan to continuously implement the information students learned in the classroom and community, as well as invite the officers to come back for another presentation. Please feel free to email me with any questions. Have a great week! -Ari Simner [email protected] |
