3-D-2 LOCAL DOCUMENTS, DATA, AND CARTOONS

[] This document provides data and statistics about volunteer fire departments in Pennsylvania. This website provides a chart listing the counties of Pennsylvania with the numbers of volunteer fire departments and the population of each ccounty. It states that there has been a decline in the number of volunteerism for the fire departments and they were looking into the regionalization of the fire departments.

[] This website has an original ticket for a fundraising dance to help build the fire house in Donaldson, Pennsylvania. This small town is located near our school and some of our students live in the small town. This would be a neat resource to show the students and it would promote a connection to what they may already know.

[] The Hose Hook and Ladder website provided data about past fire department staff and statistics. The department provided a timeline of events that have happened in the past. I am sure that if I contact this department they would be able to share original meeting documents.

[] This local fire department also had a timeline format when describing the historical events of their company. They provided statistical information through the timeline. I am planning on contacting each of the local companies to see if they have any original documents to share for my presentation.

[] This firefighter cartoon seems to represent the fire departments throughout the country. By using the credit card slogan priceless, this cartoon captures the estimated cost of materials needed to effectively be a firefighter.

[] This website provided a very appropriate cartoon for kindergarteners. It shows a little child dressed in a firefighter outfit holding a hose standing next to a dalmation and states "Future Firefighter."

4-D-2 PHOTOGRAPHS & POSTERS

[] The Cambridge Ohio Fire Department website has photographs of fire department equipment. I could use various photographs from this website to describe the vehicles used throughout the history of fire departments.

[] The website provides information and photographs of historical facts about fire department history of some organizations in the United States of America. I could use this website to gather important historical information about fire departments to present background knowledge to the students.

[] This website provides photographs of fire department apparatus that have been used throughout the history of fire departments. I am planning on using a power point to present my content and using photgraphs from this resource could enhance the presentation.

[] This website provides simple fire safety information, interactive games that reinforce fire safety rules. This website would be a great review website that engages students to learn about fire safety through fun interactive games. It also assesses their knowledge learned throughout the unit about fire safety.

[] This website provides photographs of fire equipment used during Chicago Fire Department history. This is another resource that provides photographs of fire department equipment from the past. A useful tool that I may use for extension activities to compare and contrast fire departments of today from the past.

[] The Texas Fire Museum posts mulitple antique fire department apparatus. This is another website that provides many pictures of fire department vehicles. I could also use these photographs in my presentation.

[] This website provided an age appropriate poster of a child in a firefighting uniform and there is a paragraph that describes what it takes to be a firefighter. I believe that the children could learn from this poster about what it will take to be a firefighter. 5D1 AUDIO RECORDINGS and SHEET MUSIC

[] This website provides samplings of siren sounds. It would be very important to expose my young kindergarten students to the siren sounds so that when they hear the sirens they are not scared.

[] This website provides audio of home fire detectors. By including this audio in my project the students will be able to hear what their fire detectors should sound like and discuss with their families a plan for emergency exit of their homes.

[] The Firehouse website provides live dispatch audio of various cities. This will give the students an example of what happens when a fire or accident occurs.

[] This website provides an sample of a song composed to help the audience understand the togetherness of fire fighters. The song displays how the fire fighters work together.

[] This website includes songs that enhance learning. The website provides the lyrics for the song and it can be taught to my kindergarteners. The first couple of verses can be heard on the website for free but to hear the full version you must pay to download the song. This website appears to provide many educational songs for young learners. 6-D-1 LOCAL VIDEO AND MAPS

[] This site provides a fire prevention video. The video provides clear examples of how to prevent house fires and the steps to escape safely from a burning building. It also shows a fire fighter when he is dressed in his equipment so that children will not be scared of the fire fighter. [] By searching the google maps website I have been able to highlight where the local fire departments are in the town of Pine Grove. [] This site provides YouTube videos taken by local fire departments. The videos display actual fires and incidents that have happened in local Pennsylvania. [] This map is provided by the Smokey the Bear website. This map demonstrates a live map of the United States wildfires. This website shows the importance of putting out our campfires so that they do not spread. [], [] This provides an engaging music video referring to calling 911. This video sites the importance of calling 911 and when to call 911. The second video has the fire fighter explaining what he does and what he wears to a fire. [] A fire fighter explains the Stop, Drop and Roll technique. He explains what to do and what not to do to small children by using a special fire jacket.
