KB Highlights
January 15, 2009
Dear KB Families,
This week in KB we studied the role of firefighters and firestations in our society. In addition to discussing fire safety in class we also learned key vocabulary words like siren, gear, engine, rescue, and prepared. We capped our study with a visit to the local Broad St. firestation yesterday. Below are some photos from our visit.
It was a fantastic visit. Thanks to fireman Ralph and fireman Vinny for all their help.
One more week till reports cards are due. I will be doing several assesments of your students next week. Look for these report cards in early February.
Next week is Peace Week at Highlander. Look for more detailed information throughout these Highlights. We have been talking about Dr. King in class so please review the life of this great American with your child at home over the long weekend.
