Fire Station

What a fun trip to the fire station for both classes! We were able to watch a movie about fire safety, see the tools and equipment fire fighters rely on, watch a fire fighter get dressed, climb in the truck, and for some, complete an obstacle course. Check out all the fun:

AM Pre-K Field Trip

Tanner and Connor show off their stickers

settling in for movie time

this multi-purpose tool the kids were able to guess breaks windows

a thermal imaging camera helps fire fighters see people in a burning building

friends smile while seated inside the fire truck

Kacie, Jade, and Tanner see the world from a fire fighter's perspective

the fire truck tires are bigger than some of our students!



PM Pre-K Field Trip

the couches were comfy, and easy to fit lots of friends

Lydia and Brynn enjoy the movie

peeking in the dispatcher's window where calls are taken

the fire fighter explains his oxygen tank and shows off other tools

Fire trucks' sirens are loud, so we protected our ears

Micah and Thayer receive stickers

Hannah checks the door with the back of her hand to learn its temperature

We don't have to be afraid of fire fighters! High-fives showed our fearless attitudes



Goodbye Manhattan Fire Station! Thanks for a great learning experience!

We also sang several fire safety songs this week. Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along at home:

Little Fireman (sung to "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm a little fireman on the go,
Here is my helmet, here is my hose.
When I see a fire hear me shout:
"Turn on the water and put the fire out!"

Hurry, Hurry
Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck
(Hands on steering wheel)
Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck
Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
(Ring bell)

Hurry, hurry, turn the corner
(Lean to the right)
Hurry, hurry, turn the corner
(Lean to the left)
Hurry, hurry, turn the corner
(Lean to the right and left)
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
(Ring bell)

Hurry, hurry, climb the ladder
(Pretend to climb ladder)
Hurry, hurry, climb the ladder
Hurry, hurry, climb the ladder
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
(Ring bell)

Hurry, hurry, squirt the water
(Pretend to spray hose)
Hurry, hurry, squirt the water
Hurry, hurry, squirt the water
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
(Ring bell)

Slowly, slowly, back to the station
(Lean slowly to the left and right)
Slowly, slowly, back to the station
Slowly, slowly, back to the station
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
(Ring bell)

If There's a Fire (sung to "Are you Sleeping?")
If there's a fire, if there's a fire
In your house, in your house
What do you do? What do you do?
You get out. You get out!!!
