It took a little time and effort to make it happen, but today was our special day. Today we had Fireman Kieth and Fireman Gary visit us from the Cleveland Fire Department. They reviewed our emergency number 9-1-1 with us. They also reminded us how to stop, drop, and roll if our clothes catch on fire. The best part of the experience was when Fireman Gary dressed up in his uniform. We got to see first hand what a firefighter would look like if he or she needed to rescue us. This was a good experience because some children were a little afraid of him all dressed up. We repeated the fact that if there was a fire they should not hide from the fireman. The children also each took a turn spraying the big fire hose. I hope we have a few future firefighters in the bunch!
Today the children also played in the Meeme Orchard center. They filled out orderforms for the purchases they wanted to make. The workers at the orchard then filled the order. The customers then took their apples home to make pie or feed their babies. The children could also paint a pumpkin if they wanted to use in the orchard.
Today the children also voted on how they would like our classroom pupkin to be carved. Of late we have been working on the term fewest. When we graph we identify the one with the fewest amount as the one with the smallest number.
