Fire Safety

This week was all about fire safety. Our Monday/Wednesday group was able to see a Medford fire truck and meet two fire fighters who told them about the gear they wear, the equipment they use, and the importance of smoke detectors. Our Tuesday/Thursday group will be rescheduled due to work conflicts. I will post photos of the fire department visit after both groups have had a chance to experience it. We made some fun dalmatians and a scene of a fire truck putting out the flames. We also learned about what we need to do in case there is a fire in a building, as well as stop,drop, and roll. We focused on the letter Ff and the sounds it makes. 

Next week is a short week for preK as we only see our groups on Monday and Tuesday due to Child Development Day and Parent/Teacher conferences. Our theme will be Hibernation and Migration. 

Reminders:
--If the time scheduled for your child's conference time does not work, please let me know so it can be rescheduled. 
--Our first Families Being Involved event will be Friday, Oct. 23rd. If you did not sign up but want to attend please let me know as soon as possible so we can be sure there are enough pumpkins for everyone. 
--More information is coming home next week about our Halloween parties. 
--School pictures are in and will be sent home Monday and Tuesday, if you want to have retakes done, please send back the packet of photos so we can turn them in when the new photo is taken. Retakes are on Tuesday, Oct. 27th and Wednesday, Oct. 28th
