The Be a Tree program takes 30-60 minutes of classroom time.
This gives kids a great start in understanding the dog safety
messages they receive during the program. The safety messages
will be even more strongly ingrained if there is follow-up to
reinforce the lesson.
Doggone Safe has consulted with
teachers and early childhood educators in the US and Canada to
produce a list of suggested activities, organized by grade level
and discipline of study that are consistent with common
curriculum requirements.
You can
download a file that describes the suggested
curriculum-based follow-up activities. Please let us know if you
try other activities so that we can update our listing.
Saskatchewan Labour has reviewed
the Be a Tree program and concluded that it "would be a valuable
resource to be taught in Health Education Classes should it
become a resource recommended by Saskatchewan Learning" and
suggests that the Be a Tree materials could be used in
conjunction with the
Grow Up With Safety Program.
