~National Fire Prevention Week~

Photobucket


It is Fire Prevention Week!

Do you have any plans to incorporate Fire Prevention into your lesson plans this week? While this week is quite busy for us but we will be taking next week off of "school" since Daddy will have the week off (he is a high school math teacher), so we will do a unit on Fire Prevention and Christopher Columbus next week.

If you need ideas for Fire Prevention Week click here.
