Last week we had two different themes in Kindergarten All-Stars. We celebrated color week and also learned about fire safety and how firefighters help keep us safe. We read the book “Stop, Drop, and Roll” and discussed different ways we could keep ourselves safe if there ever is a fire at our houses or at school. Then students wrote about what they learned.
During Social Studies we used one of the fire safety strategies, don’t touch hot things, and we sorted items based on if they were safe to touch or not safe to touch.
We also combined our unit on fire safety with color week and worked on matching numbers with the correct color words and coloring a firefighter page. This helped student learn how to read color words as well as number recognition.
For art students students created fire trucks with the words Stop, Drop, and Roll to display another fire safety tip on what to do if our clothes catch fire.
Since October is fire safety month, firefighters from our community came in and show the students their gear and discussed ways to stay safe when there is a fire. At the end of the presentation students got to practice fire safety in their test house.
We read the story “Stop, Drop, and Roll” and talked about ways to stay safe if there is a fire. Then we made fire engines with the words ‘stop, drop, and roll’ on them.
