On Thursday, November 21st we'll be having our Harvest Party in the afternoon, and our community helper field trip to the Fire Station in the morning. We are looking forward to learning about the amazing work these first responders do for our community.
We're leaving school by 9:30 in the morning and we'll be back in time for lunch. Please remember to send in your permission slip so that we can all go along on such a fun field trip.

Learning About Safety

We have been learning about communities and the people in them. Especially, the people in a community that help us. So far, we've met a Portland Fire Fighter, and and a police officer from Oregon City. He came to our school with his police car and we all got a chance to get in and check out the *gear*.

After we checked out his car, he talked to us about what we need to remember about being safe.

 This is her *scared* face!

As we continue learning about communities, we'll be going on a field trip to the nearby fire station. Be on the look out for permission slips to come home!
