The librarians at the Newell Library invited us to a Fall Story Hour. We walked to the library and heard stories about the farm. We then got the chance to make our own farm book. Each child worked on a page for the book, and the finished book will be kept at the library. Stop in sometime to find your child's page and to check out some of the great books they have available.
Fire fighters from the Newell Fire Department visited our classroom on Friday. They talked about ways the preschoolers could stay safe around fire. Fire fighter Brian also put on all the gear including the mask so the preschoolers would know what he would look and sound like if they ever had to be rescued from a fire. The a.m. class rode in the Rescue Unit and the p.m. class rode on the fire truck. The fire department also gave the preschoolers fire hats and bags with fire safety activities inside. We want to thank both the Newell and Fonda Fire Departments for taking time to talk to the children about fire safety.
We have been talking about fire safety the past couple of weeks. The children have had the opportunity to pretend to fight fires in the dramatic play center. The fire fighter dress up clothes have been very popular. We may have some future fire fighters in our class.
The preschoolers have been having so much fun playing outside in the leaves. I'm sorry if they have been bringing souvenirs of this activity home in their hair and clothes, but they have been having a blast! We snapped some pictures last week of the p.m. class and had to share some of them. The looks on their faces are priceless.
