Firetruck!

Today was an exciting day around Ambrose. After a fire drill everyone got to see the firetruck & the equipment the firefighters use. The Pine kids were able to ask a bunch of questions in addition to looking at different tools firefighters use. 











After the presentation, the kids had a chance to walk around the truck and look at all of the different parts. One firefighter even took a few minutes to answer some questions. 





"What do you need the helmet for?"
"We use it to protect our head if anything falls during a fire. Just like if you wear a helmet when you ride a bike!"



This firefighter talked about his favorite tool he uses if he has to go into a house during a fire. It's multi-functional that includes an ax and a crowbar (he had a different name for it, but I didn't hear it). 




The firefighter also showed the kids a heat sensor. 







The experience was fascinating and provided the kids with an opportunity to ask questions and even get a better look at what firefighters need in order to help those who are in trouble during a fire. It was a really fun day!

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
