Fire Safety

During the first week of October, we focused on fire safety and the work that firefighters do in our community.

Fire Art

We mixed yellow and red colors to make some fire art.

Fire Positional Words Game

We played this little game to practice using positional vocabulary, and find different fires throughout the house.

Fire Dramatic Play

The firefighter play kept up throughout most of the month.

Field Trip to the Fire Station

We also enjoyed a fun trip to the local fire station. We are so grateful for the time they took to meet with us, and for all the work they do in our community!

Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

This year, our fall field trip was to the Pumpkin Patch. We went to a large patch with a wide variety of pumpkins, and enjoyed exploring all the different sizes, colors, and shapes in their fields.

I usually get so caught up in field trips that I forget to take a lot of pictures. It was a fun day!

Field Trip to the Fire Station

As part of our fire safety week, we went on a field trip to our local fire station. It was such a great learning experience!

The firefighters did such a great job showing us around the station and talking to us about fire safety.
The kids were especially excited to see the fire trucks. They were even able to sit inside!

They also showed us all the equipment and tools that they keep inside the trucks to use in emergencies. It's amazing how much they carry! Then one of the firefighters showed us how fast they have to get dressed in all their gear before a fire.

He also showed us how they breathe with oxygen masks when they go into a burning building. I thought it was so great for the kids to see that so these helpers would hopefully appear less scary in an emergency situation.

Thanks to the fire station for a fun morning- and for all the work they do for our community!

Field Trip to the Farm

We went on a field trip to a local farm to see the animals, learn about farm life, and visit their pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful and fun learning day!

Learning about forming metal from the blacksmith

Horses

Sheep

Pumpkin Patch

Let's be honest though, the Halloween hay maze was probably the favorite activity of the day. We went through multiple times. :)
