First Grade at the Fire Station

Fire Safety
We had a great field trip to the Fire Station. Make sure to check out the
pictures on our website. We learned basic fire safety techniques, saw a
firefighter dressed to fight a fire. We got to see the trucks, equipment, and
spray the hose!
STUDENTS were CHALLENGED to tell you about what they learned. Their
homework was to tell you about it; to ask you to check the smoke detector
batteries; and to talk to you about a FAMILY MEETING PLACE should a fire
occur. I am giving them their coloring book, safety badge, & pencil as a
reward for following through on that assignment!
