This week we've been studying the letter F. So Wendy (the other mom we do homeschooling with) and I decided to plan a trip to the firestation here in Eastman. We loaded up the kids and drove on over. The firemen were great! They took time with us, gave the kids a plastic fireman hat, let the kids sit in the fire trucks, showed us their tools, and even dressed in their gear to show the kids. One thing I liked that the fireman pointed out was that it was good for the kids to see what he looked like all dressed, so in case there was a fire, they would know not to be scared and run away from him. He told them that they should run TO him because he was there to help. We talked briefly about calling 911 if there was an emergency and not to run if their clothes caught on fire, but to stop, drop, and roll. It was a great field trip! Thank you Eastman firefighters!
