Firefighters visit Kindergarten

We have been learning all about community helpers.  Thank you for all of the egg cartons, we now have enough, come in and see our firetrucks when you get a chance.  We also made some police officers that are on display in the classroom.

Today we had a visit from some North Vancouver Firefighters.  They came into the classroom and taught us all about fire safety.  We learned about phoning 911, staying low under the smoke, sleeping with the bedroom door closed, feeling the door (if it's hot, don't open), checking fire alarm batteries, having a family meeting place outside, stop drop and roll.  Then one of the firefighters got dressed in all of his gear.  He explained that if we ever meet a firefighter dressed in gear, not to be afraid.  Then, we all went outside and got a closer look at the firetruck…most of us wanted to go right inside the truck!
So much fun!
