Firehouse Field Trip in Connecticut



February 2004

Ages and Grades: 6 (1) and 3 (Pre-K)

This was an organized field trip with Cub Scouts. All the other kids were public or private school kids. It lasted about an hour which was just right for the kid's attention span. They saw all kinds of equipment and were given plastic toy fireman's hats. They learned stuff. The guide really liked kids and spoke to them with respect, probably helped by the fact that the kids behaved themselves. They all loved it.
