Freddie the Fire Engine

Freddie the Fire Engine and some of the volunteer firemen from our community came to school and taught us about fire safety. We are not to play with matches and if there is a fire, we call 911. If our clothes catch on fire, we learned to Stop, Drop, and Roll. That helps put the fire out. If we burn our hand, we should put it into cold water. That helps the burning to stop.
When they turned out the lights, we heard a strange noise. One of the firemen came crawling towards us like he would if he were rescuing us from a fire. We saw him in all of his gear, and then they let us try some on. It was fun! Thanks Freddie for teaching us about fire safety! And thanks for the heat sensitive pencils. They're cool!

Making Applesauce

We made real applesauce that tasted lots better than the store bought stuff! Our librarians brought us apples from their apple trees and cooked them in the microwave. Each one of us got to help turn the handle on the grinder that smooshed out all of the seeds and skins. Then they added some sugar and cinnamon. Yummm, Yummmm. It was scrump-deli-icious! It reminded us of Johnny Appleseed.

We went to the Mt. View Town Park and had a blast! We ate our lunch in the chilly autumn air and then beaded Smokey the Bear necklaces. The Forest Service fire fighters and Smokey the Bear came and told us about fire safety and how we can help prevent forest fires.
The kids had fun playing with each other on all the playground equipment. Their imaginations had free reign. Some of them even went rolling down the hills. A few snowflakes came down, but not nearly enough to even begin to damper the spirit of our kindergartners. Their endless energy and happy hearts made our fall field trip a delight!
