Be safe this 4th AND in your classrooms!

Happy 4th of July to all! Hope all you Americans are going to be doing something fun to celebrate the good old USA! I am planning on chillaxin at the beach all day! I thought today would be a good day for a post about safety considering fireworks and all that goes on during the 4th of July holiday.

Recently I have joined the community of We Are Teachers. I received a newsletter by e-mail and was interested in 2 different pages regarding safety.

The first one was about joining the Neighborhood Safety Network. By clicking on this link, you can find more resources about keeping your children and neighborhood safe. Some topics include fire safety and drowning prevention.

The other link that I liked was "7 'Safety' Tips for Teachers." This would be beneficial for teachers to read.

Have a safe and happy 4th!

Fire Station Field Trip

Here are our books for the week about fire fighters, fire trucks and fire safety. 

Here is some of the gear we use to dress up like a fire fighter.

Here is Firefighter Bob and his friend Jimmy. (Who keeps calling Bob Spongebob which he doesn't like)

 One of the firefighters agreed to put his gear on to show the kids.

Here he is again letting the kids go up to him so they wouldn't be scared.

 I was so proud of how good my kids listened and stood in line!

 The kids practiced crawling under this sheet as though it was smoke.

The kids had the most awesome time even though they did not get to actually get on the fire truck. If you have the chance, you should definitely take your children. It is an educational, fun and worthwhile trip!
