A Trip to the Fire Station

Last week, we took a field trip to the Swan River Fire Station to learn more about fire safety and the job that firefighters do. The fire chief and the firefighters were wonderful to us and taught us all about the fire trucks and equipment. They answered all our questions and now the kids are running their own fire station in our classroom. The kids were thrilled with this trip and are still talking about it a week later!!

Mmmm.....Cookies!

The kids were super excited to bake gingerbread cookies. We followed the recipe and mixed the dough together. Then each child got to roll some dough and cut out cookies to bake. The next day the kids decorated the cookies and then we invited Kindergarten B to join us for a delicious snack! The kids were thrilled to create gingerbread men, gingerbread babies, gingerbread girls and gingerbread cowboys - just like all of the books we have been reading in class.
