Parenting Pointers: Sparky Schoolhouse Fire Prevention

SteveSongs ("Mr. Steve," co-host of the nationally broadcast PBS KIDS preschool destination) and family music stars Recess Monkey want families to jump on the bandwagon for fire safety during National Fire Prevention Week, October 5 - 11. 2014.
The National Fire Protection Association's friendly mascot, Sparky the Fire Dog®, joins SteveSongs and Recess Monkey in inviting kids, teachers, and families to have fun exploring the world of fire safety. The place to start is www.sparkyschoolhouse.org, the "Sparky Schoolhouse" website, where apps, music videos, lesson plans, activity sheets, an e-book, and games for kids age 3 - 10 are available for free download.
Everyone needs to know how to stay safe in case of fire, and this is especially true for kids. The key to fire safety for children is to teach them that when they hear the beep, beep, beep of a smoke alarm, they need to get out of the house and find a safe, outside meeting place.
Bonus items on www.sparkyschoolhouse.org include free downloads of the songs "Little Rosalie" and "What's That Sound?"

Sparky the Fire Dog® is a registered trademark of NFPA, the National Fire Protection Association.
Funding for this project is provided by the 2013 Fire Prevention and Safety Grant through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FEMA.
