Fire Safety Week

Last week was fire safety week and we were so lucky to have Connor's dad, Mr. Bell, come in to speak to our class along with our third grade big friends. The students got to see and feel his gear and equipment and listen to many safety tips. They had a chance to ask many questions as well. Thank you so much to Mr. Bell for taking the time to come visit our classroom!

We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming For...

Fire Safety! Today we skipped our reading workshop and literacy center/guided reading time (the kids were instantly letting me know we did not do this) to do a little fire safety learning. We read a nonfiction book about fire fighters and then did a writing activity where the kids thanked fire fighters for protecting and saving lives. We paired our writing with an adorable fireman art project (can't take the credit for how cute these are, I found it online). Also, our mystery reader came in and it was a fire fighter! Madison's dad was our mystery reader this week and he came in full gear to read a cute story about Spot the fire house dog. He also showed some of his equipment and the kids were so excited. Thank you Mr. Bell, for coming in to talk about fire safety and read to us!
