Hi Everyone!

What a busy week we had at school last week!  Not only was it Hudsonville’s Homecoming Week, it was also Fire Safety Week!  We read LOTS of books about visiting fire stations and learning all about what fire fighters do.  We also learned some important fire safety rules:

*stay low and go

*make a safety plan

*stop, drop, and roll

*call 9-1-1

The Hudsonville Fire Department stopped by for a visit on Tuesday, October 4. They talked to us about matches/lighters, smoke detectors, and making a safety plan with our families at home.  They showed us what they look like when they are all dressed-up and ready to fight a fire.  We practiced yelling, “Help, Help, We are in here!”  so they would know we were trapped inside.  And they showed us all the COOL TOOLS that they use to fight fires, as well as their fire truck.  We even got to see the hose on the top of the truck shoot out water.  We wrote a story about it during writer’s workshop.  It was SO AMAZING!  Here are some photos of your children enjoying their time with the fire fighters.
