Well, since we had moved into our new house quite some time ago, we were clearly overdue for some fire safety training in our new locale! I set up a mini-unit study on fire safety and we established our place to meet, fire safety rules and floor plan. We installed two more smoke detectors and learned about the fire escape ladder located upstairs in Janie's room. We talked about fire safety in the kitchen and throughout the house. We got great ideas from
www.sparky.org including a checklist and a printable floor plan. They also have games on the site that reinforce what our kids learned. We stretched the unit study to about a week and finished with a trip to the local fire department with our local homeschool group! Clearly unit studies don't have to be big and involved. Pick a little subject and try it for a week. I love it! They're really fun!
That is so cute, a "wee-oo". Thanks again for organizing the fire station field trip. It was really a rousing success!
ReplyDeletei still can't get over how wonderful all of those kids did! what a testament to being an involved parent. loved it!
ReplyDeleteFire safety is so important! Great job, Dorene! Steve sees the benefits from good training all the time! Sometimes kids can be heroes!

that's so cool, stacie! when we moved in we bought a fire escape ladder for janie's room. it is installed under the window and flips right out the opened window securely. it was pricey but we thought it was so much better than the kind that slide under your bed. well worth the price, i think.
