Fire Safety Week!!

Last week was Fire Safety Week!  We read books this week all about firefighters and staying safe around fire.  On Thursday, firefighters came to our school and showed us all of their tools in the firetruck and what they have to wear to fight fires. It was a fun surprise for the kids!




We also had a bus evacuation drill on Thursday.  We all got to go on a bus and meet a bus driver, and hear about how to safely exit a bus in an emergency.  In writing we continued to work in our weekend journals and wrote lists.  We are working on stretching out the sounds in our words to write a beginning, middle and end sound for each word.  The words of the week were to and the this week, and we practiced those everyday!  This week in math we started have new math centers to continue building our number sense.  Some of our favorites are playing grab and count, roll and count, and using the Promethean Board and computers during math zones.  We finished up learning about U.S. Symbols this week and talked a lot about leaders this week.  We identified leaders in our families, school, community and country.  Juniper was a great star of the week!  She shared some toys she made, pictures of her family, and made a great poster.  She also brought in a favorite book that I read to the class. We had two mystery readers this week.  Thomas' grandma from Seattle came and Christopher's Tia also came to read to us.  


Monday is Open House!  If you have some time between 9 and 12 to stop by, we would love to show you around our classroom!   Please send back library books, book buddy bags, and homework tomorrow.  If you haven't sent the field trip permission slip and money, please try to send that in this week!  There is no school Friday!
