Okay, I really do say every day is our favorite day, but I believe that. We always have so much fun and really today is just one of the "best" best days. It was our visit from the fire department and if you ask any child in the entire preschool they think of firefighters as superheros!!!!
The fire fighters brought a puppet show to teach us about fire safety. We learned that if there is a fire and smoke is all around you need to "stay low and crawl out." We also learned to never play with matches and that we should have a fire drill at home to help us be safe if we need to get out in a hurry. BUT the most important thing they taught us is to "stop, drop, cover your face & and roll" if we ever have fire on our clothes. It all sounds kinda scary, but we know that having a plan keeps us safe. (And the songs were super cute and fun to sing.)
Then one of the fire fighters put on all of his gear and let us see what he looks like if there is a real fire. This way we know not to be afraid of him and to let him help us. If you look at the picture just below, you'll see that underneath all of that stuff above is just a super nice guy. He isn't a scary monster, even though all of the gear looks a little frightening.
Finally, we got to go in the fire truck. Yep, right into the real fire truck!!!! Each one of us got to check it out and we thought that was the BEST!!!!!
Below, you see a friend showing us how to call 911. To help us remember what to do in case of a fire we made a little paper
phone with our most important emergency number printed on it....911! It was fun for us to practice this in our classroom and to learn that we call 911 for real emergency situations when someone is really hurt or there is a fire.
And we did some fire fighter coloring to help us learn all of the gear that our fire fighter friends wear when they "go to work" in dangerous
situations.
Many thanks to Tower 10 for taking the time by our preschool and teach us about fire safety!!!!
You are so awesome!!!
