Working on a puzzle...working with bristle blocks.

Fire Fighter Chad came to talk to us about fire fighters.

"If you see someone that looks like me during a fire, we're here to help you."

He let us wear his mask.

He gave us each a badge.

He let us wear his helmet.

He let us wear his jacket.

We had a great time listening to Fire Fighter Chad!

We painted circle-shaped spots on Dalmatians.

We put out a fire in the home center.

We glued our ladder onto our fire truck.

It took a lot of glue.

Our fire truck looks great!

Letter "C", Wheels, Ladders, Acrobats and More!

We had so much fun learning this week!

We created wheels for our big red fire truck.
We drew a big black circle and a smaller white circle.
We cut them out and then glued them together.

We created art with heart-shaped sponges.

I'm a fire fighter!

Creating wheels is so much fun!

We love Fun Friday Creation Station!

The Fun Friday bin toys are so much fun!

You never know what you'll find in the Fun Friday bin!

We went to a performance on Friday morning.  We were a great audience.
We saw the Zuzu Acrobats.  I think they said they were finalists on America's Got Talent!

Some of us volunteered to jump rope with them.


They helped us jump really high!

Jumping rope is so much fun!



Wheels on our Fire Truck!

Tap, tap, tap.

A fire fighter's work is never done...

We created ladders to go on the sides of our fire truck.
We cut really long rectangles for the sides of the ladder and short ones for the rungs.

We added more and more wheels.

Our fire truck has eight wheels, four on each side.

Here we are making the second ladder.  The long rectangles were really long!

We added a lot of rungs.
