“What do you wanna be when you grow up?” Have you ever wondered how to help your child follow their interests and fulfill their curiosity about different career choices? Help has finally arrived in the form of an exciting new e-book series from The Old Schoolhouse called “The WannaBe Series. I want to be…when I grow up!”
I recently had the opportunity to preview the first e-book titled, “When I grow up I want to be a…Firefighter”. This e-book from The Old Schoolhouse does not disappoint. It is jam-packed with history, interesting facts, personal stories, and tons of activities.
This e-book teaches to students of any age. It speaks to them in a way that it is understandable and thought-provoking. From the history of firefighting, to descriptive explanations of equipment, and reading about a real firefighter’s experience and typical day, I was continuously enthralled with the concise, accurate amount of information included in this e-book.
Job requirements, as well as salary comparisons from all over the U.S. are included as well as information on Building Codes, where students are given “how-to” instructions and have a chance to pretend to be a Firefighter or Building Inspector for a day. Students will even learn the history of the Firehouse Dog, and get to “meet” one that is still used today. The information in this e-book truly inspires kids to ponder how it would feel to actually practice this profession in a real setting. Footnotes with a glossary of common terms used in the profession are also included.
This e-book isn’t just all about reading about the firefighting profession, however. There are plenty of activity ideas included to enhance the learning experience, such as hands-on activities, quizzes, vocabulary, math and science activities, games, and much, much more! Students are even given step-by-step ideas for a Firefighter themed party, including decorations as well as recipes, and games. This e-book is well thought-out and organized for the busy homeschool parent.
As always with The Old Schoolhouse, you can count on valuable lists of additional resources to add to your studies, from book suggestions, website links, as well as related occupations.
“When I grow up I want to be a…Firefighter” from The Old Schoolhouse is priced reasonably for the extensive amount of information and activities at only $8.95, and is conveniently available for immediate download after purchase. There are also lots more titles to choose from. Check them out today!
