This week we are learning about fire safety. The firefighters will be here on Friday morning to give a presentation and help the kids practice how to get out of a fire situation. They will bring the smoke house. This emits a syrupy, sausage-ish smelling "smoke". Kids will go into the simulator with a small group of kids and a firefighter. The firefighter will talk to them and activate a smoke alarm. Then the kids leave the smoke house and go to their meeting spot (teacher). Last year firefighters told me that kids really need to know their addresses. With many homes relying on cell service and not landlines, knowing the address is critical. Please check that your child knows this information and practice at home.
We've completed the first unit of Reading Street. We'll start the next unit on Monday. This unit's theme is "Animals: Tame and Wild".
Unit two math is nearly completed also. The test over addition and subtraction Tuesday.
We have learned some interesting things about animals and adaptations to help them live and survive. We did several explorations to learn about why birds have different shaped beaks. Ask your child to share some of what he/she learned.
Remember, there's no school October 13 or 20. Music program is at 6 on October 17. Arrive no earlier than 5:45 please.
Please submit your book orders by October 12 so any Halloween books will be sure to arrive before then!
Thanks!
