Playing Catch-Up: Our Fire Station Field Trip

Here is the story about our adventure at the fire station. We met many friendly fire fighters and learned a lot about fire safety.
We learned how to escape from a house in case of a fire.
We met at the mailbox to discuss fire safety plans.
We learned about fire trucks.
We each got to squirt a fire hose.!
We learned about how an ambulance works.

Special thanks to our parent volunteers and to the fire station for helping us have a fun and educational trip!

Request for Nature Pictures

Hello Families,
Our class is trying to start picture files for kids to help them build vocabulary and understand social studies and science concepts. If your family has old magazines with nature pictures in them we would love to have them donated to the classroom. Please let me know if you can help!
