Yesterday Kennedy's class took their first field trip and I was so happy that I was able to tag along and chaperon! Learning new things daily, I totally thought that word had an -e on the end of it, but lo and behold it does not!
The day started off like normal and we got to her school at 9am and then we all walked to the fire station. Let me tell you that one half mile has never seemed longer. Keeping an eye on all the kids and making sure they are all paying attention and making sure they are following all the rules is tough. I truly have a new appreciation for Kennedy's teachers; there were 6 parents in addition to her teachers and I was regretting every life choice that lead to me volunteering, haha.
Once we got to the station the kids got to see a fire fighter get dressed in his turnout gear and were asked various fire safety questions in which the answers ranged from very serious to hilarious. There was plenty of side splitting laughter from the parents.
If there is a fire in your house what do you need to do?
Go outside!
Open the window!
What do you say if someone needs to find you in an emergency?
HEELLLLLLPPPPPP!
If you find a lighter or matches what should you do?
Call the police!
Don't touch it!
Tell mom and dad!
Bury it!
Afterwards we were all shown a fire engine and a fire rescue truck and everyone was able to go inside the fire engine to check it out and afterwards they each got to sit in the driver's seat. Well, all of them aside from Kennedy and maybe a few others. There were a few line cutters.
Then it was time for the grand finale! Everyone got to 'put out a fire' with a fire hose. Kennedy was verrrrry serious for this bit.
She was totally dedicated to the task.
Only you can prevent forest fires.
