The fire department visited us this afternoon. With lights and sirens. The fire bell was pulled by little fingers as we were all coming in from lunch. Our students did a great job of evacuating the building, we had had a fire drill just before lunch and we all know what to do. But, this brings up the conversation of only using the fire bell in emergencies. As a class we talked about all those trucks and fire fighters responding to our emergency call when there was no need and someone else having a real emergency and not able to get help. Please reinforce this message at home. Perhaps a good time to review your family evacuation plan.
In a backpack near you is a little letter outlining our bridge project that is due Thursday, June 20. This is a great activity and I hope you enjoy the process with your learner. I would highly recommend you start sooner rather than later as there is some trial and error involved. Keep in mind this should use items around the house - not involve a shopping trip!
