When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Firefighter!

In October, our small town's Fire Department came to talk to the kids. The asked the kids if they wanted to dress up and some did, but Ms. Chrissy and I were all over it! They helped me put on a show for the kids. I dressed up and crawled on the floor to rescue them. Let me tell you, it was HARD to get back up. Seriously, it took two fire fighters to help me stand. The oxygen tank is HEAVY!! They had me run the stairs. When we went outside they allowed me to turn on and spray the hose. They didn't use all the power (only half of the normal) on the hose and I lost my stance. It PULLED me. This firefighting gig is no joke. Literally, THE BEST day of my teaching career!!

Poetry Cube

A few weeks ago for class I made a Poetry Cube. I chose mine on Fire Safety. I have a Transportation one that I want to make I just haven't gotten around to it yet. It was very easy and fun to make!

Take a box and wrap it up.

Add 6 cute and catchy poems about the theme you chose. 

Here are the poems I chose: 

Fire Can Be Helpful

Fire can be helpful
When handled with care.
But fire and children
Do not make a pair!
So don't play with matches
Or anything hot.
Adults may use fire,
But children should not!

Smoke Chant

If you don’t want to choke,

Crawl under the smoke.

Get down on the floor

And head for the door!  

Five Little Firefighters

Five little firefighters all in a row,

One, two, three, four, five they go!

Hop on the engine with a shout,

Quicker than a wink, the fire is out!

Firefighter 
The firefighter helps us learn our safety rules.
Playing with matches is only for fools.
If you see a fire, "help, you'll scream and shout!"

Dial 911.
The firefighter will put it out.

Five Little Firefighters
Five little firefighters
Sleeping in a row.
RING goes the bell!
Down the pole they go.
They jump on the engine,
And put out the fire.
Now they’re back home-
My, but they are tired!

The Firefighter

This firefighter rings the bell.
This firefighter holds the hose so well.
This firefighter slides down the pole.
This firefighter chops a hole.
This firefighter climbs higher and higher.
And all the firefighters put out the fire!
