Description

It’s a safety resource your classroom should not be without! As attractive as a poster and as convenient to use as a calendar, the completely updated Safety in the Elementary Classroom flipchart is a quick-read resource on how to prevent or solve safety problems as they arise. It offers step-by-step instructions on such essential topics as:
• In case of accident
• Fire protection
• Plants in the classroom
• First aid
• Animals in the classroom
• Field trips
• Fire prevention and control
• Storage and labeling
• Safe use of equipment and materials

Among the flipchart’s other helpful features: The cover provides room to write important emergency phone numbers. A handy checklist serves as a quick reference for some of the most important safety practices. And NSTA SciLinks connect you to the most up-to-date resources on safe science.

Safety in the Elementary Classroom is eye-catching as well as practical, in easily readable hang-up format, 11" × 11 1/4" (closed). Printed in full color on heavy paper stock for durability, it’s charmingly illustrated throughout with lively graphics. Flowers and vines coil around the pages on plants in the classroom; hamsters scamper and frogs leap across the section about animal care; a fire hose and fire extinguisher douse the section on fire prevention.
