Visit to the Fire House









As a nice break from the Iowa Testing our class joined the Second Graders for a visit to the local Fire House located behind the school on Wednesday. It was an informative and fun visit. The firemen there showed us their equipment, told us what it was for and how they use it. The class was also told how to react if they ever find themselves dealing with a fire. Then to help the students get a full understanding of the work a fireman does and to understand how hard it is, they were given a chance to try somethings for themselves. The students were able to spray the hose and try on the jacket and helmet that the firemen wear. It was a great visit, the fire house was very welcoming and the students did a wonderful job venturing outside of the school together.
