Review: TOS's "When I Grow Up...I Want to be a Firefighter"

Earlier this year,
the kiddos and I went on a field trip
to a local fire station...

I WISH we had had...
The Old Schoolhouse's
"When I Grow Up, I Want to Be...
A Firefighter"
BEFORE we went on this field trip!

This e-book is very user friendly,
and full of some pretty great information and activities,
including:

History
Narrative
Copywork
Scripture
Science
Math
Writing
Art
and
Party Plans...

Pretty much a complete unit!

Since the kiddos and I already had learned
a lot of the information when we went
on our field trip,
this was a good way to review...

(I will also pull this out next year, the week
BEFORE we go back to the Fire Station!)

I chose one of the party games
for the kiddos to practice
working as a team...

...just like firefighters do!

The kiddos got on their
"firefighter uniforms"
before playing the game...
(Simple to make-
just red shirts, orange duct tape, and
firefighter badge stickers)

The goal of the game was to form
an old fashioned fire brigade
to put out chalk fires.

The kiddos had to work together
to put out...

...a house fire...

...a forest fire...

...and a city fire.
The kiddos had a big bucket of water
and some cups to pass the water to each other...

...which they used to successfully
put out the fires!

(I'm so glad my neighborhood is safe again!)

Back to the review...

I would recommend this e-book
for kiddos in the age range of
4-10.
Younger children will need more assistance,
and older children could use this e-book on a more
independent study level.

The cost of this unit is
$8.95,
and there are MORE careers to discover
in the series.

(They also have a VARIETY of other homeschool helpers
at
The Old Schoolhouse-
it is WELL WORTH checking out!)

I am considering using part of this series in our
Social Studies curriculum next year
since community helpers is an important concept
for the primary grades,
and TOS will have already done all the work for me!
