Mrs. Laura's Class: Fire Safety!

This week we reviewed what we have learned up to this point with our letters and our numbers. We focused on fire safety. We were blessed that our local fire department was able to come and visit us...it was cool and educational!

Thursday:

This was a fun craft...the kiddos LOVED it! However...Mrs. Trina was not a fan! LOL! I put globs of paint on their papers and they used a squirt bottle to put the "fire" out!

Time to be firefighters!

They used water squirters to knock down the cups with flames!

future firefighters!

Their independent station.

This week Trina and I spent a lot of time on scissor cutting and the proper way to hold them. Cutting paper at home is a great way to build strength in their sweet hands!

OK...this may be one of the cutest firefighters I have ever laid eyes on!

The captain of the fire department came to visit us. He told us how we can stay safe if their is ever a fire....we even watched a really cool video!

Time to visit this amazing rig!

They showed us all of the major parts of the fire truck!

They even put a uniform on so we won't be afraid if we ever see a firefighter in his full uniform.

After a quick visit inside the truck we got a school photo!! What an awesome experience!!!

Friday:

STOP!

DROP!

ROLL!
We practiced what we would do if our clothes ever caught fire.

More scissor cutting practice today...and ordering, "stop, drop, roll"

Making fire with our hand prints.

Perfection!

Awesome work sweet buddy!

Happy, Happy Birthday to this sweet girl!

Sorting and graphing colored goldfish.
I think this is supposed to go with my Dr. Seuss theme...but I found it in my file and thought it would be a fun way to review!

I stapled extra goldfish to their sheet so they can show you what they have learned. I love finding ways to connect home and school. I will do things like this often....it is never homework! Just something fun and educational to do with your kiddo at home if you can.
