More Fire Safety...

During class time, we practiced how to stop, drop and roll and how to crawl low under smoke.  While practicing what to do if our clothes were on fire, the students had fire taped on their backs.  When it was their turn, they would stop, drop and roll until the fire came off. The students covered up their faces to prevent them from getting burned by the fire.

During the crawl low under smoke activity, the students would crawl to the classroom door and check the door temperature with the BACK of their hand.  If the door was hot, they had to crawl under the smoke to the window in the classroom, but if the door was cool to the touch, then they were able to open it and walk out.  The students knew if the door was hot or cold by whether or not they saw fire taped to it.

STOP, DROP and Roll

October was Fire Safety month.  Throughout the month, our class learned about staying safe around fire.  We did lots of fun things, including a trip to meet Fireman Josh at the Storm Lake Police Department!

Book Search

Community and School Helpers

In October, our class learned  about Community Helpers and School Helpers.  In the pictures below, the cooks from our school are visiting with the class about their jobs and what it takes to make a healthy school lunch.  Our student chef helped make a healthy meal by finding a piece of food from each of the food groups to put on a tray! 

Pinkalicious

On Pink Day, we read the book, Pinkalicious.  In the story, a little girl eats too many pink cupcakes and her skin turns pink...and eventually red!!  To fix the problem, Dr. Wink, her pediatrician, tells her she has to eat only green food! 

 We frosted, decorated and ate pinkalicious cupcakes together as a class!  There were sooooo yummy!!  It was easy for us to see how Pinkalicious lost control and ate too many cupcakes!  All of the kids wanted MORE, MORE, MORE!!
