Fire Safety Day

Kids looking at a real fire ahead of them

They go all out when the firetruck comes to school here! First they reinact a real fire, which triage unit and all! Kids walk around with hanky on nose and some wear slings and bandages!

There is a fire truck, of course, and fire fighters, but they also have real life fire demonstrations, smoke and fire and all. Then the kids get to use the fire extinguisher to put the fire out. They also roll out the hoses and the kids get to take turns holding the hose with the water spraying out. Suffice it to say, Moses was glad he went to school today!

Moses is doing better, though he doesn't want to go to school everyday. But this was definitely a high point! His classmates are quite friendly toward him and the teacher said he told her he needed to go to the bathroom in Mandarin the other day. Making progress!
