1st Grade Storybook Parade!

Today our class participated in the 1st Grade Storybook Parade! It was so much fun to dress up as our favorite storybook characters. Our class led the line and we got to hold the big sign. Our teacher dressed up too! She was Glenda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz. Our day was very fun! We love reading and first grade!

Firefighters are Heroes!

Today we had a special visit from Fire Station #5! They taught us about fire safety. We loved their visit. We got to see a fireman get dressed in his suit. We also got to see all of the cool tools on a really awesome fire truck! Our teacher Miss Bee got to sit in the fire truck and make the siren alarm. She also got to talk on the radio. It was so incredible! Today was a super buzzing day in first grade!

Fire Safety Week: Learning About Smoke Detectors!

We have been learning about fire safety. Today our class learned about smoke detectors. Here is what we researched and learned.

Smoke detectors help you when there is a fire. (Josiah)

Smoke detectors alert you to smoke in a building. (Vincent and Aniyah)

Smoke detectors get people out of the house when there is a fire. (Me'Again)

Smoke detectors make a loud beeping noise to alert people. (Hailey)

You should check your smoke detector every month to make sure that it still works. (Serenity)
