We had a very exciting beginning to our morning as three of our friends arrived at school in a real live fire truck! Holy Smokes! What a great way to start the day. The excitement continued as we celebrated Ms. Terri's summer birthday today. Our friends helped make a giant card for her and we had ice cream sandwiches after lunch. The weather has been superb for outdoor play. Let's pray tomorrow the streak continues for our picnic planned for the evening. Be sure to enter what you are bringing online at Perfect Potluck please. That would be most helpful to the planners. Here is the link https://www.perfectpotluck.com/meals.php?t=VERV4730. The children have been helping with our chores to close up the shop for the summer. To their delight, one of those chores involved the water hose. This is how we foster that sense of community. We all work together on our chores and we learn that work can be fun too. We certainly had a bunch of giggles and laughs when suddenly the hose went wild and they were sprayed with mist. They were asked to take off their shoes and socks (for a brief time) so that their shoes would not get soaked, and we proceeded to scrub and clean our flower pots after we planted what was in them in the school garden. We had apples and saltine crackers and animal crackers for snack. We ended our day with a special visit from Ms. Kathryn! She stopped in to wish the children well as they are ending their school year.
Thank you Newport Fire Department!
We have a lot of space to make a giant train track!
That is a very special fire helmet as it belonged to his late grandfather!
Scrubbing our flower pots.
We discovered there is a hole in the bottom.
It is fun to get your toes wet.
Great to see Miss Kathryn
