Question of the week by Leila

On Tuesday we are having Wheels Day.  Everyone has to bring a helmet. If you don't have a helmet you may not participate.

Heelys are included in the Wheels Day.

Everyday some people wear their heelys to school.   In our class, I think that 4 or 5 people wear heelys.  I think that they wear their heelys more than one time in a week. I see them wheeling around every time they have their wheelys on.  They never wear their helmets because the wheelys are their shoes for the day and I think that they think that they don't need a helmet.

However, for Wheels Day, everyone must wear a helmet.

How come you need a helmet for Wheels Day when you bring your heelys but on every other day, people don't have to wear helmets if they are using their wheelys?  Are some days wearing heelys safer than others?  Are wheelys safe?  Is the Wheels Day going to be safe?

We have a busy intersection. What do we need to be aware of to keep ourselves safe?
