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!

Happy Wednesday

 How lucky are we that it was nice weather which allowed for much needed outside time!

Happy New Year!

 Hello Pine AM friends! It is so nice to see you guys again after 20 days! I hope everyone enjoyed the time off and maybe even a little fun in the snow. Today we only had 2 kiddos come to school which felt so strange but we made the best of it. We will be ready to fully jump back in the swing of things next week with new words IN and OUT, exploring our expanded Bakery and Cafe in our dramatic play area, reading stories about winter and hands on experiences with things that are cold.
