Fire Drills

[My3cents]

I definately do when the weather is non-hazardous. They don't stop to get shoes on, but when it's 1degree outside right now and that's not taking into account the wind chill, I'm not going to have them stand outside in the snow with bare feet. I would say it's about 3-4 months (once a month drill) that they cannot go outside without shoes on.

Yes of course, common sense

When it is too cold to go out, we go to the door and then we talk about what we do from there. We don't go out either. My Fire Marshall told me to plan drills at all times of the day so that the kids know that when the alarm goes off they move to get out.

that's a good idea to go to the door and maybe even open it to make sure the older kids can do it. When I get my audit here soon I'm going to ask if that's acceptable.

I have them get their shoes on. Then I test the alarms and we go. When it's warm outside we talk about what we do outside. If it's cold, we go out, count, and come back in. No coats, nothing except the timer, kids and attendance sheet.
