Letter Ff Week: Firefighters

Letter Ff Week: Firefighter

We began our week by reading a book about firefighters.

A First Start-Easy Reader Book-Fire Drill is a book about a fireman named Fred who goes to an elementary school to teach children about fire safety. 

Since October is Fire Safety Month, you can view what we did here.

Firefighter color sheets

F is for Flag

This was a very fun craft to make!

This would work well as a 4th of July craft.

Craft was found HERE

Supplies we used:
white paper red & blue construction paper
cardstock for stars
glue
scissors
I used an F template to trace on the construction paper.
Then the children glued the pieces together.
This will go into their ABC binders

 They also practiced pre-writing skills

F is for Feathers

Another fun craft that will go into their ABC binders!

They also have a Facebook page

Each week I make each child their own letter of the week book. We read it together and they color each page in the book. I've noticed I do not have pictures of some, but I do print them each week.

And these completed the week..

Fire Safety Week

Fire Safety

We learned about Fire Safety last week and even dressed the part! The boys brought their fire trucks to daycare and really enjoyed their day as Jr. Fire Chief's.

I read the book Stop, Drop, and Roll by Margery Cuyler . They were very interested in this story about a little girl who worried about everything, and now finds something new to worry about Fire Safety!
So, we all learned how to stop, drop, and roll that day and each child received a certificate to bring home to show their parents. I found these certificates on www.makingleaningfun.com ,they have lots on Fire Safety.

Here's more

They also learned safe escape routes and meeting places outside the home incase there were a fire.

 They also learned what is NOT safe to play with! These boys did not know what matches were, but I explained to them if they saw them they must bring them to an adult, they can not play with them!

A fun craft!

 We made Fire Trucks and Fire Men! I found this great idea at preschoolplaybook.com under
Fire Prevention. There you will find the pattern for the firemen .
