FIRE!

What do you do in case of a fire?  Everyone should know.... So today our whole school practiced a fire drill.  We want to be sure we will all know how to exit the school safely and quickly in case of this emergency.  The alarm seemed rather loud to us, as we left our classroom and walked out the school to line up in a safe meeting spot. We did a terrific job for our first (and then second!) fire drill.

While we were outside during the fire drill, we checked out this tree in front of the school. We noticed several things....... that there were still a lot of leaves on the "crown" of the tree, and lots of leaves still on the "branches".... but some of the leaves were already turning yellow, and there were lots of leaves on the ground, too! We also thought the tree must be quite old-- as we noticed the "trunk" was pretty big!

Our Star of the Week did an awesome job telling us all about herself. She shared lots of photos which helped guide her discussion. Well done, young lady! 

These boys were busy creating robots (from outer space) on the white board.
