October is Fire Safety Month

Our big event for fire safety month is the field trip to the fire station tomorrow, but we've been doing some related learning in the classroom. Students have listened to several read aloud books with a fire safety theme, both fiction and nonfiction. Many chose to make a fire pup headband, as featured in the photos below. Today, we watched a DVD about fire safety, and I've added a fire safety informational website to our blog. Students will be able to visit this website during their computer station time if they wish. I also introduced two new songs about fire safety today, and I took a quick video of students singing the songs.

We are looking forward to a great field trip tomorrow!

Fun headbands! 
The instructions and the final product. :-)
Students from Mrs. Hughes' class joined us to watch a DVD called The Fire Safety Train, which was donated by the Colchester Volunteer Fire Department last year. 

Students sang a song called, "Stop Drop and Roll."


This one is called "Never Play with Matches."


There's another video to come...it's taking way too long to upload. Check back tomorrow--and I'll post field trip photos tomorrow too. :-)
