October is National Fire Safety Month. We spend a lot of time in our classroom learning about being safe around fires, candles, stoves, grills and fireworks. Learning how to be safe and stay safe if there is ever a fire can never be talked about enough. The boys and girls learned how to "Stay low, and Go!" also to "Stop, Drop and Roll". The families of Kindergarten also planned a meeting place at their own homes in case of fire. I hope these are lessons the boys and girls take with them but never have to use. Despite the seriousness of our lessons, we ALWAYS enjoy our visit to the Winside Fire Station as a culminating activity to our unit on fire safety. Chief Don Skokan visited with the boys and girls about fire safety, then it was time to explore the trucks and the equipment and answer questions. We really appreciated the time the Winside volunteers took to help educate our children but we also appreciate the time they take to help keep our community safe. THANK YOU!!!
Don Skokan and Chris Olander talk to the Kindergarten and first grade students about fire safety.
Kyle Skokan (and former Winside Kindergartner) shows the boys and girls all the gear a fire fighter must wear when he goes out to fight a fire.
