Firefighters

BIG Firetruck!
Do I look confident in what I am doing???

Since October is the month to discuss fire safety, we had firefighters visit our school. It was a great group of men that really explained things to the students on their level. They allowed them to view the firetruck, they discussed fire safety, showed the students the gear firefighters wear, and demonstrated stop, drop, and roll with the students. One fun thing they did was dress up a teacher in the firefighters' gear. Guess who that teacher was????? ME! The children enjoyed it and I have a new found respect for firefighters and the job they do. Just getting on that gear is enough. It is heavy, hot, and stinky! To sum it all up, they even brought prizes for all of the students! Thank you Pearland Volunteer Fire Department!
