Fire Safety
Fire Station 27 came to our school to talk to our kindergarteners about fire safety. We learned about what an emergency situation is and what number to call in case of an emergency. The firefighters showed us their fire gear and fire engine. We had so much fun!
In Social Studies, we are beginning our unit on families and friends. We are talking about who may be in a family and some different activities families may do together.
