Mini-Research Real World
Activity Pretend
you are a fire fighter. You are at the fire station and the alarm
sounds. Ding! Ding! Ding! The dispatcher announces there is a house on
fire in the area. You run to get
dressed! Visit Elmo's
Fire Safety website to see what protective gear you need so that
you will not burn. You are dressed and ready to go. You jump on the
fire truck and buckle the safety belt. The
fire truck speeds to the burning house. You jump off the truck, grab a
fire hose from the fire truck and run toward the burning house. GREAT
JOB! You put out the fire! Wow, what a day. Draw a
picture of you fighting the fire and the protective gear that you wore.
