Activity #1 • Have each student come up with a “tool” to explain a chosen job. For example: a wrench to represent a plumber, a jack hammer to represent a construction worker • Have students explain these “tools” so other students can remember

Activity #3 • The class will take a trip to the firehouse in order to see the uniforms, fire suits, and equipment • Students will learn about fire safety and upon returning to school, role play these safety procedures
Activity #4 • A police officer will come in and discuss public safety, such as strangers, drugs, and personal information (knowing address, phone number, etc.) • Children would then make a pretend ID card
Activity #5 • Read the book Community Helpers A-Z by Bobbie Kalman (as a read aloud) and discuss the different jobs • Have students draw themselves as a community helper with a few sentences describing why they chose that job
