When I was a first grade classroom teacher, I was always looking
for ways to integrate my lesson plans. Each month on Sparky's
Parents & Educators website there is a different "Learning
Link". These are incredible activities and wonderful ways to
integrate fire safety education into other core subjects in the
classrooms. The "Learning Link" this month is "measuring up".
This fire-safety themed, printable encourages kids to become
familiar with units of measurement and practice identifying
given measurements. The second page challenges students to
measure the “kid-free zone” around a space heater, stove, or
fireplace. By making this a hands-on activity you will help
students visualize, and remember, the "kid-free zone" in their
everyday lives.
