This week the Prek classes met with a fire fighter from the Flushing Fire Dept. He went over the basics of 'stop, drop and roll' and to have a safe meeting place in case of an emergency. He also reminded the kids to have their parents check their smoke detectors. So, this week, please let your child help make an exit plan in case of an emergency. They talked about a safe meeting spot with the fire fighter, like a tree or a neighbor's house. They can also help 'find' the smoke detectors as you go to check the batteries in each one. Don't have any? The fire fighter said the brand doesn't matter, that they're all basically the same unless you get the ones with voice commands, so consider picking up at least one.
The PreK kids also all brought home an activity book, that would be good to do with them to review what they learned.
A great read aloud to go along with Fire Safety week is No Dragons for Tea (it also ties in with our letter of the week, D) by Jean E. Pendziwol. It's available pretty much everywhere, you can also try the library.
Hope you have a fun and productive fire safety week!
I invite a fire fighter for the We 3 class when we learn about community helpers. He is a fabulous guy and really engages the kids.
