Future Firefighters

Today was a very special day.  We had Fireman Ryan visit us from the Kiel Fire Department.  He helped us review our emergency number 9-1-1.  He also reminded us how to stop, drop, and roll if our clothes catch on fire.  The best part of the experience was when Fireman Ryan dressed up in his uniform.  We got to see first hand what a firefighter would look like if he or she needed to rescue us.  This was a good experience because some children were a little afraid of him all dressed up.  We repeated the fact that if there was a fire they should not hide from the fireman.  The children also had the opportunity to try on his coat and helmet. I hope we have a few future firefighters in the bunch!

Today for centers the children made a fire helmet of their own.  They also followed multiple step directions to make a ladder snack out of a graham cracker.  We also worked on identifying objects that start with the letter "F."
