Let's Be Safe!

Fire! Fire! Hurry! Hurry!
Fire Safety is a fun and important day! Talking about fires especially in our homes, can sometimes be frighting. We talk about how not to be afraid of a fireman in the home, if he is trying to find you. Also how to Stop! Drop! And Roll! Smoke rises to the ceiling, so to stay close to the ground. We talked about how Firemen are heroes! They save people, not only from fires, but also from accidents, or other places, where we might need their help. Trying to explain a hero to a 4 year old is kind of tricky. Many asked if firemen could fly. After putting out fires, Fire Fighters get really hungry, so for snack time, we made "Pigs in a Blanket", again, another thing tricky to explain to a 4 year old!

Officer Friendly (in a book) showed us how to be safe where ever we go. We all pretended to be a police officer for the day.

My proud moment however, is when we talked about signs that we see while driving in our cars, also keep us safe. My own son yelled from the back seat to make sure I look for children crossing the street, because he saw a "School Crossing Sign". Then he noticed a "rail-road" sign and informed me that we should never play on rail-road tracks.
