October is Fire Safety month and there are so many fabulous resources available to teach this important topic. My students have enjoyed reading and analyzing
non-fiction text about firefighters and fire safety. If you have not downloaded or used
Storia by Scholastic on your class' iPad, computers, or IWB, stop what you doing... and download it now! These interactive ebooks have made non-fiction come alive to my students! It has also helped me stay current with new books without having to wait for the books to be shipped to me. When reading Storia books on the IWB, my class is able to write on the book adding character's thoughts, circling pictures that help us understand vocabulary, and so much more! In addition to fire safety books available in the Storia store, Scholastic is highlighting several awesome resources for grades K-12 regarding Fire Safety. Click on the screenshot below to check it out.
Has your class met Sparky??? Sparky is the mascot for the National Fire Protection Association. The NFPA has a
website created just for kids to explore fire safety with Sparky. YouTube is flooded with fire safety videos for kids of all ages. Touch the image below to view some of my favorites.
Click here to download the free Sparky app from the Apple App Store.
Sparky the Firedog is not just for young children! If you teach 3 - 5 grade, visit
Sparky's Schoolhouse to download a free eBook and free science and math interactive whiteboard lessons.
And of course we cannot forget about
Brainpopjr during Fire Safety month!
Feel free to comment with other fire safety resources you love to use! :)
