Our first field trip to the Creswell Firestation

Last week we used dramatic play to help us understand literacy preposions such as over, under, in, out, and behind by pretending to be firefighters. We also learned how to stop, drop, and roll, and other basic fire safety skills.  Then our class took a field trip to our local fire station.  We had so much fun getting in all of the fire trucks, and ambulances.  My favorite part was watching all of their faces as the firefighters turned on the sirens.  They all covered their ears and couldn't believe how loud it was.  Cute little Elizabeth was convinced we were going to an actual fire and was scared to death.  In the end we all overcame a few fears and learned that firefighters are there to protect us and are our friends.  Thank you Creswell Firefighters!

Love this pic of my parent volunteers.  Thanks for all of your much needed help!

After we left the fire station we enjoyed a picnic in the park.  What a beautiful day. We had a blast!
