community helpers

In school, we discussed how Firefighters help us. They have the same phone number as Police officers - 911. 
We sang our song: 
Tune : 3 blind mice 
911 911 help is on the way. Help is on the way.
If I need help I know what to do
I can call the Police and the Fireman too
911 911.

We brought a firetruck into our classroom. Firetrucks have big ladders so Firefighters can climb into high places. If there's a fire we need to call the firemen to come. They wear special clothes to keep them safe from the fire. They wear special hats to protect their heads. They have hoses that they use to put out the fire.

We sang a new song about Firemen.
Tune: Pop goes the weasel..
Down the street the firetruck goes
The fireman sees the fire
Up the ladder with his hose
Pshshsh (squirt with hands like hose)
Out goes the fire.....
