Community Helpers

PreK Friends continue learning about the Communities' needs. 

Everyone in our class agreed that community needs the FIRE STATION. 

Fortunately, there is one in our community. Last week, friends visited it. 

Firemen now only talked to us about fire safety but they showed friends around the station. 

Friends noticed how fire men's uniform is organized.

 The Firemen uniforms were hanging on the racks ready to be put on in case of the emergency. 

Helmets are on the top, jackets are on the hangers, and boots with attached pants are on the bottom.

Get ready, set and GO!  

There are different ways firemen get down from second floor.

Some of them use the stairs, others prefer the pole. 

Fireman needs only 7 seconds to get fully dressed. We checked! 

 Every part of his uniform serves him well- 

a hard helmet protects his head, oxygen masks provides with clean air- oxygen, 

thick gloves keep hands from burning, shiny yellow strips of fabric allow others see a fireman in the dark and in the smoke.  

Firemen use special tools: an ax and hannigan- the tools that help get through the jammed doors.

To be a fireman, one needs to graduate school and go to college, stay strong and eat healthy.

Friends sent a grateful letter to our local firemen for the dangerous job they do.

As soon as friends left the Fire station, they were welcomed by other community helpers-

Police Officers invited in for a visit.

Police officers showed us their uniform and tools,

they taught us about the street safety and strangers safety.

Important "if you got lost" rule we learned is stay on the same spot where you got lost. Do not wonder. Look for a police officer and ask for help.  

Following weeks, friends will learned about the Jewish Community Historic Period-

This time we will "travel" in time to Persia.
