Sharing Circle
 

Sharing time is special part of the day. It is so great to see that many of our JK's are signing up and participating in sharing their work.  Students share songs, costumes, pictures, paintings, creations, musical instruments, and the list is endless.  The audience will have an opportunity to ask one question to each friend sharing their work.  Sharing time is an excellent opportunity for students to build their confidence and improve their oral language skills.

FireFighters Visit - October 18th



Our Little Fire Fighters

The Equipment

She thought it was very heavy.


Some of our friends exploring the inside of a fire truck.





What the Students Learned --

Lucas - "I learned that some firefighters don't have dogs."
Cheyenne - "I learned that if there was a fire, and we had animals DON'T go back in."
Maya - " I learned they will pick me up and put me in the truck.  I saw lots of stuff in there."
Kaylo - "I learned they put out the fire."
Hannah S - "I learned that fire is dangerous and we don't want to get burned."
Ally - "We need to put the fire out."
Lydia - "Stop, drop and roll."
Savannah - "I liked to do the exercises with the Firefighters."

















 
Message to Parents:
  • Please remember to check your fire alarms.  Firefighters recommend a working alarm on every level of your home.
  • In case of a fire in your home, create a fire escape plan and make sure all members of your family know "the meeting place" once they are outside.  (Example: neighbours front porch, tree)
