Firefighters:
Pre-K
43 kids
5 siblings
32 adults
The kids are always so good at guessing the theme!
Books:
Fire Fighter PiggyWiggy by Christyan Fox. A young pig imagines what it would be like to be a fearless fire fighter who slides down a pole, drives a fire engine, and saves someone from danger.
Fire Truck by Ivan Ultz. This is a "Sing and Read" book published by scholastic. We watched a projected version of it. I love that by the time we get about half way through all the kids are singing along. YouTube link
"Flannel" (I used clip art today):
Who uses this? Police officer or firefighter? I held up different pictures and the kids called out which side of the board I should put them on:
Five Brave Firefighters
I got this idea straight from Read, Rhyme and Sing's blog Check out her craft. It's really fun!!!
5 brave firefighters waiting by the pole
Ring, ring, ring goes the bell (I rang the bells you see on the board)
And down one goes
Music/Movement:
We sang "Drive the Fire Truck" with scarves (listen to sample here). It's a short song so we sang it a few times.
Hurry! Hurry! Drive the fire truck X3
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Hurry! Hurry! Put the latter up X3
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Hurry! Hurry! Put the fire out X3
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Hurry! Hurry! Drive the fire truck X3
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Whew!

What a great storytime! I absolutely LOVE your "who uses this?" flannel. Awesome for discussion!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing for the Flannel Friday round up.
ReplyDeleteLove the Firetruck Book/song from Youtube. How did you come across this? It reminds me that for a "Goat" storytime I once found a Youtube video called "How do you Talk to a Little Baby goat?" by Tom T Hall. I used that as one of our songs. One of the little girls in that group loved that video and in subsequent visits to the library always mentioned it, so I would look it up and watch it with her. She still asks and is in 2nd grade now! But it got me to thinking, since you mentioned your group was singing with the Firetruck book, what other fun books are out there like this that we could be using in story times.
ReplyDeleteI only know of a couple more like:
DeleteBaby Beluga by Raffi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtGYtlqrWUQ and
Frank Asch books http://www.frankasch.com/splash.html
I just posted on PubYac to see if other Librarians have ideas as well. I'll make sure to share if I get responses!
High-visibility clothing for heavy construction projects, as an example, plays a crucial role in protecting workers from low invisibility at night. The goal of wearing high-visibility garments is to produce a wearer more visible. Individuals who manage traffic on roads use to wear high visibility clothes to stay clearly visible on roads. guanti vigili del fuoco
