Paco loves animals! He spends a lot of time with the animals in his forest. He likes to learn about other animals too. Especially those that are different than him. From alligators to zebras, the world is full of amazing animals. Check out Paco’s Animal Facts video to learn interesting facts about some of his favorite animals. Now, let’s have some fun and get moving with this Zoo Yoga activity! Find an area with lots of space - a living room, a nice grassy part of a yard or a roomy spot at the park are some ideas to try. Look at the picture of each pose. Move your body to match the picture and see how long you can hold it. Yoga is a great way to stretch your muscles. It can help your body become more flexible and it will even make you stronger! Plus, it is always fun to pretend to be different animals. Paco likes to do the monkey pose most. That's because he loves to move his wings around and make monkey noises... "OOO OOO, AAAHH AHHH"... Which pose is your favorite? 
Firefighters are very helpful members of our communities. They have important jobs! They help protect us from fires. They offer assistance to people in need. They are strong and brave members of our communities. Have you ever visited a firehouse? Paco had a great tour of one this week.

Paco also learned some very important fire safety tips! Did you know that a smoke alarm has a test button? To make sure your smoke alarms are ready to alert you if there is a fire, make sure to test them at least once a month to see if they are working. Watch the video below from the U.S. Fire Administration for more on this safety tip. It is really important to know your address and how to dial 9-1-1 if there is a fire or other emergency. Paco likes to practice his address by saying it to the tune of the "Happy Birthday" song. The tune helps him remember it easily. You can try this with other well known songs too. What song will you choose?
Did you know that some cell phones are locked by a password? Paco learned how to use a locked cell phone to dial 9-1-1. Every phone is a little different but most have an "Emergency" button that can be used to make a call to 9-1-1 without the password. As a family, take a look at the phones in your house to make sure you know how to use them in case of emergency. Be sure to talk about when the right times are to call 9-1-1 too.
