Chaperones have an extremely important role!

• Monitor student behavior
• Keep children safe
• Point out interesting things
• Make sure they dont get lost
• Insuring that they have fun!

14
Monitor childrens behavior

• The kids will be instructed to obey ALL adults
  with our group!
• Everything they do reflects on you, Reo School,
  and us
• The standard behavior rules apply no running,
  no yelling, being respectful of others.
• You can speak to them, even firmly, but dont
  touch them in anger.
• If you have problems, the teachers will be easy
  to find!

15
Keep Students Safe!

• If the behavior they want to engage in could
  result in harming themselves, others, or
  property, DONT LET THEM DO IT!
• Examples
• - climbing over railings
• - walking on tops of high flat walls
• - getting too near water
• - picking flowers in yards

16
Pointing Out Interesting Things

• Kids tend to hurry through museums and displays,
  missing a lot of information.
• They dont like to read plaques or brochures.
• When a docent is talking, make em listen!
• You are in an ideal spot to pass along bits of
  educational information youve picked up along
  the way!

17
Making Sure Kids Dont Get Lost

• Kids get easily distracted and can drift away
  (purposely or accidentally).
• Be ever watchful that when you come out of
  someplace, youve got everyone you went in with.
• They must be with YOU at all times!
• You cant keep em safe if you cant
• find em!

18
Insure That They Have Fun!

• We hope that whatever you buy (snacks) for one
  member of your group, youll purchase for
  everyone.
• If there are special activities you want to do
  (bike riding), make sure that everyone can
  participate.

19
You have our undying gratitude!

• We couldnt make this trip without you!!!
