Teach the lesson

1. 3 min · Connect

   Read the four promises on page 47 and ask what each could look like.

2. 4 min · Model and say

   Model: Keeping information private means I do not type my address in a game. Explain that a promise means practice, and help is available after mistakes.

3. 8 min · Practice together

   Children pair each promise with an example spoken by the teacher: ask for help, protect information, use kind words, make a safe choice. Use page 49 to draw an example; page 41 is an optional counting finish. Read the worksheet aloud and let children respond by pointing, speaking, circling, or drawing. Use optional coloring only if time allows.

4. 3 min · Discuss

   Invite two different responses. Ask: What would you do? Why could that help? Use the answer guide on the next page.

5. 2 min · Check understanding

   Name a promise and ask the student for a matching action with minimal prompting.

Answers & follow-through

Worksheet guidance

1. Circle a way to keep information private.

   Ask before sharing and protect the address.

2. Circle a way to be kind.

   Encourage someone.

3. Draw yourself doing one safety promise.

   Accept a clear action connected to any promise. Do not use pledges as blame if a later problem occurs.

Check, then respond

Name a promise and ask the student for a matching action with minimal prompting.

Mark your observation: □ Independent   □ With a prompt   □ Needs practice. If a child needs practice, demonstrate the same action again and offer a new example in the next class. This is a teaching check, not a safety certification.

Make it work for your learners

Support: Read aloud, point to two choices, model one response, and accept a gesture, spoken answer, drawing, or partner scribe. Do not require independent reading.

Extend: Ask the child to invent one new pretend situation for today’s goal and explain a safe response to a partner.

Family conversation

Use one promise as a conversation starter; invite questions rather than requiring perfect behavior.

No personal information or signed homework needs to be returned.

Teacher care note

Use fictional situations. Do not collect passwords, addresses, or private experiences. Offer an alternative to role-play. If a child shares a concern, listen calmly, avoid public questioning, and follow school procedures.
