·When all children have described something they learned the class will review all topics covered throughout the unit. Such as: evacuation plans (what they are and why are they important), fire alarms (why they are important and where should they be located in a home), firehouse tour (what they learned and liked about the tour), Dalmatian dogs (how they become the dogs for firefighters), causes of fires (what causes fires such as candles something being too hot), and ways to prevent them (blow out candles, watch food that is cooking, don’t play with fire).

·Teacher will have students color the page as a relaxed way to end the unit.
·After children are done coloring the teacher will hang everyone’s picture up in the room.
Assessment: The teacher will assess the children by having the students describe one thing they have learned throughout the unit. This will present the teacher with an opportunity to notice if the children really have taken in the information and understood it.
