Week of 10/4 - 10/7

Hi Bumblebees,
Another wonderful week! Learned a lot about fire safety and had a great time seeing the real fire truck this morning! Enjoy the pictures.

Reading Chester's journal about his fun weekend with Mackenzie
It's all about the letter D this week!
What belongs on a fire engine?
Sammy showing us all the great D items he brought in the class sound box!
Thank you so much for sending in SMALL pictures in the letter envelope this week! Our D poster still looks like a D! Please continue sending in small pictures for each letter!
We learned so much about firefighters, fire engines, and fire safety this week!
I hope you got a chance to enjoy our circle of friends. We will continue working on being good friends the whole year!
Practicing what to do if your clothes are on fire....stop, drop, cover your face, and roll!
From time to time we will do a Weekly Reader newspaper together.
Fire fighters working on a fire safety newspaper together
Kaylee took our letter-of-the-week book home. Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey!
Thanks to Zach's family for providing yummy donuts for a special "D" snack! YUM!
Painting our ducklings....not with a paintbrush....with a duck feather!
Working on ABC patterns
We even got duckling-shaped silly bands!
Our ducklings are marching in a row, just like in the book we read!
We got to decorate our own fire stations! Many of us want to be fire fighters when we grow up now!
The real fire truck is here!
Thanks to Station 81 for coming teach us about fire safety!
Wow, that fire hose shoots a lot of water!
Yeah for fire fighters!
Fire fighters sure need a lot of stuff!
Even with all that equipment, they are not scary....they're the "good guys"
Lots of fun stuff going home this weekend. Please check this picture and your child's folder/backpack to see if they are responsible for anything. Have fun!
Congratulations to Haley, Riley, Yena, and Zach, our star students this week. Keep up the good work!
