It was a very educational day in preschool.
Fire Fighter Mitch from HFD came by this afternoon and talked to us about how sometimes he is a little different (his words, not mine). He talked with us about some of the things fire fighters can do to help us when we are in trouble. He also brought ALL his gear and showed us how he puts it all on. He asked several times if he looked the same as when he came in to our classroom. There was a magical moment about when the protective mask went on that he stopped looking like a man and started looking like a fire fighter. He showed us how he would be crawling on the floor if he had to come in to our homes during a fire. We now know that the man in the fire suit is there to help us and we should let him get us out.
And now the lesson for Mrs. Trombley and Mrs. Paronto: CC's painting of white snow turned yellow because of his dog!!!!
