F is for Firemen

Today we learned the letter Ff. The upper case F is a straight stick down, lift, across on top, across in the middle.The lower case f is curve up and down, cross in the middle. To help us learn this letter, we had some special guests this morning. Two firemen from Albert Lea Fire Department came to our class to teach us about fire safety.

 Talking to us about fire safety. Ask your child what we do if our clothes catch fire? (Stop, drop and roll and cover your face) What number do we call incase of an emergency? (911)

 We were practicing what to do if there was smoke in the room. We get as low as we can

and crawl to safety.

One of the firemen put all his gear on so we could see what firemen look like and sound like when they go into a building that is on fire. They are our friends and we should never hide from

them or be scared of them.
