POP-UP Projects for Safe Routes to School

This guide explores how schools can use pop-up demonstration projects to improve safety on and around campus. These temporary activations, often referred to as tactical urbanism can be used to promote walking and biking to, from, and around campus. You will find examples of local, national, and international projects, tips to support implementation efforts, and links to additional resources.
Pop-up Projects for Safe Routes to School

DESE-accredited Health & Wellness Professional Development

DESE-accredited Health & Wellness Professional Development - MassDOT's Safe Routes to School Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Curriculum

According to the Centers for Disease Control, walking and biking are life skills that also support student independence, resiliency, and recommended daily physical activity. From a student's perspective, navigating the built environment when arriving and departing school offers different physical and cognitive challenges than for adults. Educating our student commuters of all abilities and ages on how to be a safe walker and biker bolsters school attendance, physical activity, and social interaction while decreasing family traffic.

MassDOT's Safe Routes to School offers a 10-hour DESE-accredited Health & Wellness Professional Development program on its Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Curriculum that includes in-person and self-paced learning modules. It may be taken in its entirety or parts thereof. It is geared towards Health & Wellness Teachers, Teacher leaders, School Administrators (Principals, Assistant Principals, Curriculum Directors, etc.), Nurses, Coaches, Paraprofessionals, and Advocates/Community Partners. Adoption of our DESE-approved Health & Wellness curriculum allows for a more equitable and sustainable lesson model across a school district.

To schedule professional development for your school/school district, please contact your Outreach Coordinator.

Bike Safety Education Videos

Pedestrian Safety Education

SRTS provides pedestrian safety lessons for students in grades K-12, but is primarily focused on second-grade students. Cognitively, students at the second-grade level are ready to learn about the principles of being a safe pedestrian and therefore SRTS encourages schools to incorporate this training as enrichment or as part of curriculum. Schools can deliver the curriculum themselves with the resources below or can schedule a SRTS Outreach Coordinator to provide the training:

(6th Grade English/Language Arts Lesson)

(6th Grade English/Language Arts Lesson)

History of SRTS (6th Grade Social Studies Lesson)

Driver Education

Being a "Bike-Friendly" Driver

Crossing Guards

Crossing guards play an important role in helping students travel safely as they approach the school. SRTS has some helpful resources to support the crossing guard(s) at your school.

Kids Speaking Up for Road Safety

Kids Speaking Up for Road Safety is a free program with ready-to-use, 45- to 60-minute lesson plans for grades 2 to 3, 4 to 5, and 6. Through a cute cartoon meerkat named Sam, the lessons help students become part of the solution to end distracted driving - long before they are drivers themselves.

EndDD.org and Safe Roads Alliance developed these lesson plans and collaborated with psychologists, SEL experts, content developers, videographers, and animators experienced in creating educational programs. Lesson content and activities draw on the core SEL competencies framework developed by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning.

Through guided discussion and activities, students explore different types of distractions that occur outside and inside the car. Students learn about distraction and non-confrontational communication skills. Ancillary resources include a facilitator's guide with an advisory letter home to parents/guardians, student worksheets, cross-curricular activities appropriate for grade level, safe driving pledges, and a printable reference guide for students. These tools aim to help students positively influence their parents' and caregivers' driving behaviors and increase the likelihood that they will choose to drive distraction-free when they get behind the wheel.

Other Resources

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
SRTS offers the tools students need to be smart, safe pedestrians and bicyclists through a combination of training sessions, school assemblies, workshops, videos, and printed materials. We also have resources available for parents/guardians, educators, and community stakeholders that include webinars, lesson plans, videos, and other materials for download.

How do I talk to my child about race, culture, equality and human rights?  Developmentally appropriate resources for families. 

# data[].attributes.body
Hello Center School Families,
We have put together a few resources for those families who want to talk to their children about race, equality, human rights and the current events related  to this topic we as adults may be grappling with right now. If you are discussing these topics with your children, it would be best to present the topic in a developmentally appropriate way. For example the conversation you have  with a 5 year old compared to a 11-12 year old will be different. We have put together some resources for those of you who wish to access them.

It is recommended that adults seeking these resources watch, read  and explore all resources on their own first, then determine if the content is the right match for your child and family. Again this is a resource for those who are seeking information on this complex topic.

Let's talk about Race: Kindergarten teacher talks about the subject and reads a children's book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vHymutysWU

Sesame Street Cast and CNN Town Meeting: on Racism

Where can  find age appropriate children's books on this topic?:
https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/books/power-of-story/

https://www.embracerace.org/resources/where-to-find-diverse-childrens-books

https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Childrens-Prejudice-Racism/zgbs/books/3135

When we return to school, our School Improvement Council will be establishing an ad hoc suncommittee focused on  Race, Equity & Cultural Responsiveness This subcommittee will further explore this topic as related to Center School and put in place any new practices and/or set goals as part of our school improvement plan. I will be seeking parents, staff, community members and students who want to make sure everyone at Center feels safe, powerful and welcome.

Mrs. Orphanos' favorite Art museum!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The history of the museum, of its building is quite unusual. In the centre of Paris on the banks of the Seine, opposite the Tuileries Gardens, the museum was installed in the former Orsay railway station, built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900. So the building itself could be seen as the first "work of art" in the Musee d'Orsay, which displays collections of art from the period 1848 to 1914.

Open from 9.30am to 6pm daily, except Mondays
Late night on Thursdays until 9.45pm
Last tickets sold at 5pm (9pm Thursdays), museum cleared at 5.30pm (9.15pm Thursdays)
Closed on Mondays, on 1 January, 1 May and 25 December

A free Printable 30-day LEGO challenge calendar to use anytime during the year. Print it out, hang it up, and give it to your kids. Feel inspired and take your LEGO building time in a new direction. I have written out 31 Days of fun LEGO challenge ideas using bricks you already have. Hopefully, it will get you thinking of new ways to use those special pieces that don't see much action. We love kids' LEGO activities!

Fun LEGO Challenges

For our printable LEGO challenges calendar, I wanted to develop a few unique ideas to add to some classic LEGO building challenges. If you take a closer look, I have tried to add an extra element wherever possible such as attaching a marker to a car for drawing. This takes a classic Build a Car LEGO challenge and adds a cool new twist.

30 Days of LEGO building fun!

We have made a few other printable LEGO challenges, including our LEGO Math Challenge Cards and our LEGO Travel Kit and Challenge Cards.

Get the LEGO challenge calendar for great activities to keep the kids busy after school, on camp, during school vacation, or when they are stuck inside!

Although these LEGO challenge ideas provide a bit of structure, there is tons of room for creativity, imagination, and design for your kids. It makes a great boredom buster for screen-free fun!

If you want to learn more about building your LEGO collection on the inexpensive side or more about , we can help with that too!

LEGO Challenges

We try not to use many fancy pieces if at all, so anyone can have a go at these LEGO ideas at home.

Discovering how to use the LEGO pieces you already have to make something cool is a great skill for kids to learn early on. You don't always need more of something. Instead, you need to use your imagination and work with what you already have!

Click the links below for inspiration or directions to build some of our coolest LEGO challenges. Remember, our pictures are just a guide to get you started with the pieces you have available.

A fun and easy way to explore physics, a LEGO catapult can provide hands-on learning for potential energy, kinetic energy, and more! Start with a safe internet search to check out different types of catapults or trebuchets!

Time to see Newton's 3 Laws of Motion in action with a LEGO balloon car! This is always a blast, no pun intended!

Gravity makes thing go! Kids of all ages will love this cool LEGO zip line challenge. It's up to you whether you grab a simple pulley to add or not!

What do you get when you combine baking soda and vinegar with LEGO? A cool chemistry project for kids that's what! Take this LEGO volcano outside or place it in a plastic tub inside.

Classc fun with a DIY LEGO marble run! All you need is a baseplate, a pile of bricks and pieces, and a marble to get started. You can make it as simple or complicated as you like!

LEGO Ice Melt Rescue

Help! Yo need to rescue the LEGO man from ice! Combine states of matter with LEGO fun with this LEGO ice melt activity

Learn about this fun paper football game and design your own goal standard to play with a friend! Fun rainy day activity.

Design and build mini LEGO robots as part of our LEGO screen-free coding activities! You can also grab these free LEGO robot coloring pages!

Through out the year we have been practicing mindfulness in art. It is a great tool to help focus, but also calm and relax, and generally give yourself a moment to check in with itself. This is a wonderful resource of simple mindful breathing exercises for children. We have already learned 5 finger breathing in art, but we called it mountains and valleys.
