More About Firefighters



Today we continued with our community helpers theme and learned more about firefighters.  Our story today was This Is The Firefighter by Laura Godwin.  This story outlines all the things that firefighters do and the ways that they help people. The kids had lots of comments during the book about things that they saw yesterday at the fire station.


For art today, we made 5 Little Firemen using the kids handprints.  They added a round face and a red hat to each finger, and then we drew a hose for them to hold.  The kids enjoyed using Q-tips to make water coming out of the hose. 





 

 



The highlight of the day was crowning everyone "Firefighter" for the day!  Each kiddo got a red firefighter hat to take home.  We pretended to put out fires and practiced the saying the firemen taught us yesterday....."Don't hide, get outside".....which will help keep everyone safe if there is a fire.
