Fire Safety & Prevention

    During the month of October, SMART START observed Fire Safety & Prevention Month. Our young learners have been acquiring knowledge on how to prepare for emergency situations through an assortment of interactive activities.

    Future firefighters dramatic played with trucks, hoses, action figures, magnets and their creative imaginations. All pretended there was a fire on their swing set and acted the role of fire chief (and a Dalmatian too!). 

    Safe students executed exact steps to take if their clothes ever catch on fire: STOP where you are, DROP to the ground, COVER your face and ROLL back and forth.

    Everyone eagerly awaited the annual visit from North Andover Fire Department. Five firefighters along with two fire engines came this year. Lieutenant Davis discussed prevention protocols and was most impressed with questions and answers from the class.

Fire fighting friends gathered to work on pages in their themed activity books. Pre-K/K pupils practiced identifying what number to call in the case of an emergency (911) while preschool peers colored related materials. 

    To conclude this unit, other community heroes were explored. Occupation flashcards were matched to corresponding figurines. This lesson prompted conversations about what our aspiring group wants to be when they grow up. Classmates' career aspirations included firefighters, police officers, farmers, doctors, librarians, pilots and even the tooth fairy!
