The class all applauded since word jumbles are everyone’s favorite.
Miss Pat handed back the vocabulary quiz.She was not happy with the results of the quiz. Many of the class didn’t do as well as she thought they would.
She asked the class why they thought they did poorly on the quiz. Arthur J raised his hand and said,” I didn’t recognize some of the objects on the quiz. I didn’t know their names.”
Miss Pat noticed that some of the other “Can Dos” were nodding their heads in agreement.
That is just what she did!
Go to the “Can Do” Club House, choose games and choose ..Name the Objects.
After you are done naming the objects, write a sentence about each object you matched.
She decided to make a matching game out certain signs and signs of things that can help keep the “Can Dos” safe.
She chose a word jumble for them to do, hoping this would get their attention and they would learn and have fun while learning.
Miss Pat handed out the jumble and the room got quiet. Soon Orrie’s hand went up. Then Maria raised her hand and then Yundi. Sure enough, they all had the jumble right! No homework for them.
Vacation week was coming to an end and soon it would be time to go back to school. But, today there is a guest speaker at “Can Do” Street Community Center.
He was even carrying a mask, which he put on for them to see. He was kind of scary looking with the mask on. Then Firefighter Jim explained why he needed the mask for his safety when he went into a burning building to rescue people and it all made sense to the “Can Dos.
Firefighter Jim said to the class, “If you are ever in a building where there is a fire, don’t run or hide from the firefighter who comes in to rescue you. Don’t be afraid of the mask he has to wear in order to breathe safely while trying to find you or others who need to be carried to safety. When a firefighter calls out to you, answer right away so he can find you. It is very hard to see in the dark caused by a fire, so let him here your voice loud and clear.”
The “Can Dos” listened very carefully. It was scary to think about being in a fire and having to be rescued, but they wanted to know how to help themselves if ever there was a fire.
Then firefighter Jim reminded them of how to prevent causing a fire:
Firefighter Jim reminded the “Can Dos” that if they saw a fire, not to try to put it out, but to get away from the fire, to safety He also reminded them that if the fire was in their home to get out immediately and not try to go and get a favorite toy or a pet to take out with them. Once they were safely away from the fire they could call 911 or pull a fire alarm box if there was one nearby.
