Fire Safety Week

Monday some of the Edgerton Firefighters came to visit us. The firefighters talked to us about fire safety and we watched some fire safety videos. You can see photos on our gallery page.

AM Class

PM Class

Here are some fire safety items we talked about:

• Are your smoke detectors working? —check monthly!
• What is an emergency? When to dial 9-1-1
• Don’t run! STOP, DROP, AND ROLL!
• Have fire extinguishers available
• Crawl on the ground, smoke rises
• GET OUT & STAY OUT!!
• Have a meeting place outside where you can meet safely. Practice your plan.
• NEVER play with fire, matches, or lighters
• NEVER EVER, hide from fire fighters! YELL, I AM HERE! I AM HERE!

Tuesday we created a firetruck out of various shapes and these are now decorating our classroom.

We made ourselves some firefighter hats on Wednesday and Thursday we colored a Dalmatian.

We have a number of children who are unable to put their own coats on. Please work with your child at home so that he/she knows how to fix sleeves if they are inside out and how to put the jacket onto their body unassisted. Once these steps are mastered, please work on zipping. 

It won’t be long until we are adding snowpants, boots, hats and mittens to the mix so let’s get the jacket process perfected ASAP! :) Another great thing to practice is how to pack items into a backpack and zipping it up. Thanks for your help in making this process easier so we can get outside faster!!!
