Mr. Stireman


Today my dad came to my classroom to teach my 3rd grade students about electrical safety. He had this big display that showed people in Hazardous Hamlet town making bad choices that could electrocute them. The display was really cool, it actually did show the people getting shocked and the kids could see and hear the electricity as it hit the little characters who were being unsafe. The kids loved it and learned quite a bit. At the end, we revealed to the students that Mr. Stireman is actually my dad. They were pretty excited about that. All day they made comments about how nice my dad is, it was cute. They also committed to going home and teaching their families about electrical safety. Thanks Dad, for coming!

That is so awesome! I wish I taught third grade too, and we could have had a combined presentation!
