Firefighters and Snowflakes

This past week we had three firefighters from the West Carrollton Fire department visit our school.  They showed the students all their gear and what it looks like for a firefighter to be all dressed up in their gear.  This is a great program our fire fighters do to ensure that children will not be scared and hide from firefighters if there is an emergency. 

To one of our students surprise, her dad was the firefighter to get all dressed up.  She was so excited to see her daddy!



They let us hear the sounds and noises of the air tank and told 
Captain Barnett to wiggle when they heard it!



 

Last week I received an email stating children from all over the country are making snowflakes to decorate the new school that the Sandy Hook students will be attending.  So, Friday we finished our week by making snowflakes for the children from Sandy Hook.  I didn't give the students any details but I told them that children from a school in Connecticut need some cheering up and are going to be going to a new school.  I shared with them that children from all over the country are making snowflakes to be hung in their new school.  The children will be completely surprised by their "Winter Wonderland". 






In the corner of each snowflake, the students wrote "Ohio" so the children know that the children in Ohio are thinking of them!

Have a wonderful new year!
