**Survival Signs:Curriculum<br />

Grade 3 <strong>and</strong> Up<br />

Haugen, Janie<br />

530.569<br />

PCI's Janie Haugen-McLane developed the Survival Signs Curriculum to give teachers a step-by-step way to help<br />

students learn the meaning of 80 indoor <strong>and</strong> outdoor signs found in the community <strong>and</strong> at home <strong>and</strong> work.<br />

The curriculum instruction method gives detailed explanations of both the visuals <strong>and</strong> the words on each sign. A<br />

perfect teaching tool for the inclusive classroom, the guide includes discussion activities <strong>and</strong> charts for the<br />

teacher to record the various places in the community where each sign is located. Students who are nonreaders<br />

or who have limited reading skills can rely on visuals on the survival signs to determine each sign's meaning. The<br />

overall purpose of the program is to prepare students of all abilities to follow the directions on common<br />

community survival signs. This method allows many students to travel safely in the community.<br />

Components<br />

Teacher's Binder.<br />

A sturdy three-ring binder contains a two-page teaching guide for each of the 40 outdoor <strong>and</strong> 40 indoor survival<br />

signs. The Guide also includes discussion activities <strong>and</strong> a reproducible Community Trip Record Chart for the<br />

teacher to record the various places in the community where each sign is located.<br />

Swimmy<br />

Lionni, Leo<br />

FIC .032 LIO<br />

Swimmy is the only little fish amongst his brothers <strong>and</strong> sisters who was born black instead of red. A faster fish<br />

than all of them, Swimmy has the mixed blessing of being able to out swim a big fish that has come to devour his<br />

family. Poor Swimmy is left all alone in the world, but his sadness doesn't last for very long. The undersea world is<br />

full of wonders, including medusas made of rainbow jelly, a forest of seaweeds growing from sugar c<strong>and</strong>y rocks,<br />

<strong>and</strong> sea anemones that look like, "pink palm trees swaying in the wind". When Swimmy stumbles across another<br />

group of small red fish, his quick thinking helps them to b<strong>and</strong> together to fight the larger fish in the sea.<br />
