Tomorrow marks the beginning of October! Wow does time fly! Today your child was able to speak to a real Dearborn Firefighter who was able to teach us all about fire safety and how to stay safe within our community. Make sure to you talk to your whole family to set up an emergency plan in case a fire does happen. Practice this! Also, if you need a smoke alarm feel free to reach out to your local fire station. We found out today that they will give you a smoke alarm and install it for free!
In regards to our field trip coming up on this Friday, if you have signed up to chaperone our trip make sure to stop by the office and make sure your background check is up to date. We are looking forward to our trip to the Fire Station!
Lastly, listed below is a run-down of what we are covering this week in class.
