"Fun" and "Safe" Switch

We have one of the most amazing guidance counselors around!  Mrs. Sitsch is definitely loved by all of the students in our class.  We are always so excited for her to come and visit us.  This time when she came to visit she brought three friends with her!  She used these friends to help demonstrate ways to take care of our bodies.  She used light switches to represent that we have a "fun switch" and a "safe switch".  She showed how the "safe switch" should never be turned off.  When explaining to the kids about this she talked about how if you get an "uh oh feeling", a feeling that you can get when you feel like something is not quite right, that there are two things that you need to do.  The two things students were advised to do when they get an "uh oh" feeling, that could result in feeling nervous, scared or confused, is say "no" and go (to get a trusted adult).  An example that Mrs. Sitsch used was kids knowing that they should not swim in the swimming pool without an adult.  The "safe switch" should stay on even if they are encouraged by another child to get in the pool without an adult.  They should say "no" to the child and then go to get an adult.  Here are some pictures!
