Over the past two weeks, we have talked a lot about Autumn, leaves and apples. Thank you very much for bringing an apple to class! We weighed, painted and taste tested all the different varieties. The general consensus was that they were "really good".
This week we are focusing on fire safety. We will be practicing the stop, drop & roll technique, crawling under "smoke" (a big comforter), having a fire drill and (best of all) seeing a real fire truck!
The Denton FD has agreed to visit Cornerstone this Thursday & Friday around 9:30am. We will have a chance to meet firefighters, see their equipment & sit in the truck. All the classes will be invited to participate! Parents, you are more than welcome to stay and join in the fun.
Our fire department field trip will be held on October 29th and I will send more details to you as we get closer to the date. Both 3-5's MWF & TTH classes are invited. We do have a few things to tweak, so I will either post to the blog or update via the yahoo loop with all the current information.
Next week, pumpkins!! Please bring a SMALL pumpkin that can be easily held by your child to school. We'll be using these pumpkins for our pumpkin patch & for painting.
