My First Fire Drill

I experienced my first fire drill as a substitute teacher last week!  The students had just come in from recess when the alarms started going!  They did VERY well with their response to the alarm. The class was heading down the hall for a drink break, then quickly turned to go back out the door.  I grabbed the fire drill folder.  One student remembered that she was in charge of the door.  My class was out there before I was!  The whole school was out very quickly, I thought.

When a substitute teacher goes into the classroom, she needs to look for the emergency cards/folder which is usually near the door.  Also in that area is the map to show where to go in the emergency.  It is important to check for these things because one never knows when those flashing lights and loud buzzer will go off!
