Then we played a little fishing game. With each fish they caught they were asked a simple safety question. I used quite the gamut of questions ranging from wearing seatbelts, what to do when you're lost (look for an employee or other mother to help), never going with a stranger, always crossing the street with an adult, to not touching fire, etc. The kids seemed eager to fish and to learn more about safety.
Then it was on to practicing dialing 9-1-1. I emphasized many times that it was only to be called if there was a real emergency or else the fireman might get mad, but I don't think most of the kids really caught the concept of how to dial the numbers anyway...so you shouldn't need to worry about prank calls from your three-year-old. 
Then we went outside to practice our stop, drop....
...and roll!!!
Then we tried running out of the house quickly like we would do if there was ever a fire. Of course they were just having a wonderful time running and rolling! :)
Then we came back inside to make our pictures. The kids had great fun scribbling their fire onto the page and then gluing the other pieces on to make this scene. 
I was so happy to see the progress they'd made since the first week of preschool. They played together better, listened better, and participated more. Thank you to all of you wonderful teachers!!!

I took Gavin, Bradford, and James home after preschool and it was fun to hear them talk about what they'd learned. When I asked them what to do if their house is on fire, they said "run, QUICK, QUICK!"
Gavin loves his phone (as do his sibs) and talks about it all the time. He also pulls out the house and fire truck picture. He's most excited to unwrap the hose and make the "noise" that apparently comes from the lights. Thanks, Lara!
