A Trip to Fire Station Number 4!

This morning was quite exciting!  Kindergarten was surprised to see that two butterflies have emerged out of their chrysalis!  It was quite exciting to watch them fly around in the net and some student collected flowers for the butterflies when we were outside.

We also had the chance to visit Fire Station No. 4 on North Ave.  Firefighters Tim and Dennis let students sit in the truck, watched them put on their fire gear and what it looks like to slide down the fire pole!  Kindergarteners asked many great questions such as: how much water does your fire truck carry?  how long is the ladder?  why do you need to wear special clothing?
