Today was a day that an interesting lesson was learned! At lunch when the kids have heat up they will ask me how long to heat up their lunch. I will read the directions and tell them how long by giving them the numbers to punch in. If they are not sure a more experienced microwaver will help them.
Today a student brought a piece of pizza and asked how to long to do it. I said that 1-0-0 would be good for it. She went to the microwave and punched in the numbers and I went along my business. A couple minutes later I heard the kids exclaim, "There's a fire" as they opened the door of the microwave to smoke billowing out. When I looked at the microwave and it had 430 left on the microwave it quickly became apparent that 1-0-0-0 had been entered instead. I had a quick lesson on the importance of zeroes in numbers and made quick work on opening windows.
As I cleaned I listened to the kids talk abou the fire safety lessons they had back in October. They asked if they should stop drop and roll as another told the number that they would need to call. Before long they had told many of the things they should worry about in a fire! And I never said a thing! Good job Kindergarten!
So if you child came home smelling like they had fought a fire...... you could say they did!
