Five Little Firefighters

Five firefighters sit very still,
Until they see a fire on top of a
hill,
Number one rings the bell, ding-dong,
Number two pulls his big boots
on,
Number three jumps on the fire engine red,
Number four puts a fire hat
on her head,
Number five drives the fire truck to the fire,
As the big yellow flames go higher and higher.
Whoooooo-oooooo! Whoooooo-oooooo!
Hear
the fire truck say,
As all of the cars get out of the way.
Shhhhhh goes
the water from the fire hose spout,
And quicker than a wink the fire is out!

Read the poem to yourself, then to three people- you can even call someone on the phone to read the poem to them! I know lots of Grandmas who like to hear our weekly poems!
Then: on a piece of lined paper, write down the rhyming words that you found in the poem, write what the poem is mostly about (main idea), who the author is (sometimes it's anonymous), and what you liked best. 

**Finally, draw a picture that illustrates the words of the poem. Don't forget all the important details!**


For an extra challenge: write a word that is new to you, and what you think it means from reading the poem. Then look up the word in a dictionary with an adult. Were you right or wrong on what the word meant?
