Books:
Elecopter by Michael Slack *
Firefighter Duckies! by Frank Dormer *
Flashing Fire Engines by Tony Mitton

Craft: Fire Dalmatian
This week's craft was based on the picture at left.  The children colored a piece of cardstock with dog's face before gluing it into a cylinder.  They then colored and glued on floppy ears.  The final step was to color and glue on a hat.

Literacy Extensions:
- Visit your local firehouse.  Many will give tours to kids when they stop by as long as they are not too busy.
- Go over fire safety with your child.  Discuss what to do if there is a fire in the house.
