Our fire safety theme included various types of safety such as bike safety, and street signs. We loved dialing 9-1-1 on our phone and listening for the operator. We learned many important things from our friends, the firefighters. We also discussed many jobs of other community helpers. We ended the week telling what we wanted to be when we grew up:)
One of the basic needs of a fightfighter is the ladder. Knowing our letters was essentials for getting to the top. Not a problem for these hard working firefighters.
The children made 3-D flames out of a mixture of shaving cream, glue, and food coloring. After calling 9-1-1- they got to create a fire truck reviewing shapes and continue working on individual addresses.
Rolling the dice, counting the dots, and then placing that many pop poms on our dog increased our counting ability.
Every fire station needs a helpful Dalmation dog.
Our fire safety unit included other safety factors like street signs, seat belts, and the importance of wearing a helmet.
Practicing STOP, DROP, and ROLL.
A science experiment to prove the stop, drop, roll theory. If the flame doesn't get any air, it goes out. Ask your child if it worked.
Recognition of color words and fine motor skills of clipping the the correct color were paired in this activity.
