The Irving Fire Department came to talk to us about Fire Safety and to show us the tools they use to keep us safe!
The Fire Fighter showing us how much gear he must put on to keep himself safe in a fire ... which helps him save people who may be trapped in a fire.
The kids listening to the firefighters!
Listening to the firefighters talk about the tools on their truck & each child got to go into the truck!

Extra hoses, axes and tanks on the truck.

Irving POLICE OFFICER!
Below is a fingerprint dusting kit.
Nurse Emma -- who works at Cook's Children's Hospital
She had LOTS of tools, bandaids, cotton, tape, stethoscope, syringe, thermometer, blood pressure cuff & gloves!
Nurse Emma wears gloves to keep her germs off of patients and patients germs off of her.
She showed us an adult blood pressure cuff -- she said that one for kids is a LOT smaller!
When it squeezes our arm, it checks the pressure of our heart.
The children made fire trucks in ART!
Police Car counting puzzle game!
The children had to find all the pieces from numbers 1 - 10 and put the police car back together again!

It was fun to eat outside for a change!
Special Agent Parker -- Homeland Security Agent ... he had LOTS of really cool tools!
flashlight, 2 pairs of handcuffs, 2 badges, guns ... and lots of secret pockets!
He also talked to us about how to stay safe when we are on the internet!
Mr. Dave from Calloways Garden came to us to talk to us about gardening, plants, seeds and making the world a beautiful place!
If you were unable to come to Literacy Night, you missed me dressed as THE STORYTELLER!
I read Giggle, Giggle, Quack and gave the kids a make and take book!
Our HOMES this past week was Collaboration. We discussed and reflected on all the things we have learned since the beginning of school. In CREW on Friday, the children collaborated and drew their favorite things they learned so far this year!
