Getting Ready for a Safe Summer: Bike Safety & First Aid

First Aid

May 25, 2005 a lady named Miss Shannon came in to talk to us about first aid. She told us that if you get a bee sting and it gets studk use a credit card or your nail. She demonstrated two things on people. The talked about a lot of things. She even talked about broken bones. She told us if you get a cut you need to was it off. You need to use a bandage. You don't want to get an infction. You do not want to get more dirt in your cut. ...Cody

Miss Shannon said you have to put a splint on a broken bone. She told us to put pressure on your cut. Put your cut above your heart to stop the bleeding. She said to scrape out the bee stinger. Miss shannon demonstrated on some people. ...Jordan

It was fun. She taught us a lot of things. I had fun. I now know how to do things. She said to clean the wound. I liked it a lot. ...Brandon

We tried first aid. She told us about nose bleeds. It was so fun. ...Levi

She said if you break a bone you have to put a splint on it or if you don't have a splint you can make a splint out of a magazine of any cind of paper muteryol or a blanket. For a burn you can put cold water on it to cool it down. ...Mikelle

She taught us if somebodys hurt to check the scene for safety, who can help, victims call 911 if not conscious. She also taught me that a bruise bleeds inside. If a dog bites you you have to make sure the dog isn't sick. If someone isn't breathing you find a phone and call 911. And they will take the person to the hospital. ...Logan

If you get stung by a bee too many times then you could have something bad and you could die. So they have to check your breathing and airways. The girl did some examples and showed us some things. ...Lexi

If you get a bear bite they tell you to put water and a wet towel on the bite. If a venomus rattle snake bites you , try to keep calm because if you run around and panic the poison is spreading to your heart through the blood stream. ...Haley

Bike Safety

Today we had bike safety. You should wear a helmit all the time. We learned a lot of stuff. Mister Fitch was nice. I learned a lot of stuff. ...Nick

The officer wants a law so you have to wear a helmet. When you put your arm strat out that means you take a left. . ..John

You should always wear a helmet. You need a light that shines five hundred feet. You need to ride with the traffic. Stop at stop signs and ride on the side of the road. Officer Fitch is my cousin. My Mom's too. He called John up and John tried 3 helmets. One was too big. One was too small and the other one was just write. ...Josh

On May, 25, 2005, Mr. Fitch came in and talked to our class about bike safety. Mrs. C. and Mr. M's class came in too. He told us to always wear a helmet when you are on a bike. He said it is a good thing to wear a helmet. When hel told us the signs we all did not know what he wa stalking about. He told us mostly everything about bike safety. He knew a lot about bike safety.. ...Cady

I learned a lot of stuff like it's not the law to wear a helmet but it is required by most parents. And you can't ride on bike trails unless you are sixteen or older. And you have to have reflectors on your bike. The officer taught us hand signals. The hand signals were stop, right and left. Officer Fitch was nice. He let my friend try on a helmet. He got the size right on the third try. ...Logan

He taught us to sign like if you were going right you wood put up your right hand. If you were stopping you wood put your hand down like you were doing the robot dance. He taught us if you put you left hand up it means you are going left. Mr. Fitch wearning a helmet is not a law yet, but he told us we should still wear a helmet. ...Mikelle

I learned that you shouldn't have a helmet too small or one that wiggles all over your head. You need one that fits you. It has to be snug on the strap, but you have to be able to fit a finger in your strap. You cannot have a siren or a whistle. You can have a bell or a horn. It was very fun. ...Sierra
