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!

Submarine Update

Yesterday the Pine friends continued their exploration on how to create a submarine out of a box. They first started drawing sketches of how it should look.  "It needs to have windows!" "We should make it yellow too." "It also needs a telescope (periscope)." Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. 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...

Week 2 Day 2

 Pine Family is rocking and rolling in week 2! We are having less feelings of sad, mad, and scared upon entering class and more happy and fun throughout the day!  Friendly reminders: Water bottles should only come to school filled with water (it's the best for our bodies and in case another student would accidently take a sip it won't cause harm), sunscreen should be applied before drop off (there is not a lot of shade and not a lot of time for us to get the kiddos all lathered up), and bug spray should be applied before drop off (this is mostly needed when we start going to the forest on Tuesdays, starting on Sept 12th). Thanks :)
