Adom Trip To The Fire Station

Today Adom's Adventure was a trip to the Fire Station across the street.  We met two firefighters, both named Mike, who showed us so many pieces of equipment!  We got to sit in the ladder truck (vs the water truck we also learned about), try on the hat, pull out the fire house, learn about the heavy suits firefighters wear to protect us,  and appreciate just how difficult a firefighter's job is every day.  None of the children could believe a firefighter has to put on such heavy gear even on a hot, hot day!  While we were there calls were coming in, and the fire fighters told us every day it gets warmer they get more calls.  People need help when it gets very hot outside.  What a great adventure.  We then came back to Camp and colored our new firefighter coloring books we received!  Thanks Grayden, for the great field trip idea!!
Our favorites included:
Josh Green - Seeing everything that they use at the fire station
Grayden - sitting in the ladder truck
Josh W. - seeing the fire pole
Ben - Seeing pipes and hose on the side of the fire engine
Jacob - Seeing the ladder truck, hose, and water truck!

Stop, Drop, and Roll!

Today at the Children's Center we had our first fire drill of the year. In an effort to prepare the kids for what was going to happen, Sauci and I thought it would be good to talk about fire drills and what to do if we are on fire. We started talking about what to do if the fire got on us, and instead of us teaching, the kids taught us!! We decided to practice what we knew, just like we were practicing to line up for the drill.

First you stop what you're doing:


Then you drop:

Then you roll!!

We practiced this a few times with the "fire" on different parts of our bodies!

Candles, Matches, Pan~ What to Do?

Firefighters, Nick and Sean came to visit the Unicorn Class. They showed the children (3) items they could see in the house: a candle, matches, and a pan on the stove with the handle facing outward. You may want to ask your children, what our visitors asked them to do should they see these items lit, or just lying around. Should they touch them? What is the "safe" thing to do? Such great listeners, know what to do!!!
