"FINALLY! My wildest dreams are coming true!"

My poor internet connection at my house has prevented the upload of these fantastic pictures from the fire station. The above quote is from a kiddo when he found out that he was going to sit in a fire truck. Enjoy these pictures; they definitely speak for themselves!

Kayden and Josiah enjoying the fire station.

Wesley: "I need more practice before I become
a firefighter because I'm a little scared to
jump down."

Here are a few kiddos with Firefighter Dan
practicing "Stop, Drop, Roll"

This is Nekon's face as soon as he walked into the
garage where the fire trucks are.

Look at how intently they are listening....

A firefighter showing us what he looks like in all of his
gear. It was fascinating to learn what it all does.

Did you know the different color helmets denote different ranks?
We didn't!

Look at that beautiful ladder truck!

Connor, Charlene, Abby, and Brandon in the truck.

Josiah, Christopher, and Destiny in the truck.



Before we went to the fire station we wrote about what we wanted to be when we grew up. We talked about how we can use what we know in first grade to help us when we grow up. It was inspiring to hear the kiddos talk about their dreams and even more powerful to watch them connect those dreams with what we are doing in our classroom. After we returned from the fire department however, most dreams had changed...we now want to be fire fighters!
