THEME: FIRE SAFETY WEEK OCTOBER 11 – 15, 2021

This week we will read a Big World magazine about fire safety, practice Stop-Drop and Roll, cut out shapes to make a fire truck and practice a fire drill. Fire drills will be held several days this week. We do not sound the alarm; we practice leaving the building quickly and quietly in the event of an emergency. Fire drills are conducted on a monthly basis after this week. Preschool class will not be held on Monday, 10/ 11, for Columbus Day.
