Fire Safety

This week the students have participated in a variety of activities around fire safety from fire drills to a visit from the Long Lake Township Fire Department.  Students learned the importance of having a plan in case of a fire, how to be safe during a fire, what fire fighters look like and sound like with their gear on, what equipment can be used to help people and how to stop, drop and roll.  Make sure you discuss your family's plan with your child and enjoy the pattern book, "Fire Fighter, Fire Fighter, What Do You See?" with your child.  This can be a shared reading opportunity, they could read to you or you could read to them.  As you read, point under each word.  As they read, they should be pointing under each word too.  You may need to help them with this as it is a very new skill for some.  Praise any attempt and have fun!
