Our Visit with Captain Carignan

As part of our study of community helpers, Captain Mark Carignan visited our classroom and told us about his job working for the Brattleboro Poice Department.  He also showed us all the tools on his belt such as hand cuffs and his baton.

Our Trip to the West Brattleboro Fire Station

We had a great trip to the West Brattleboro Fire Station on Friday!  Firefighters Jones and Sage reviewed fire safety with the kindergartners (such as changing the batteries in your smoke detectors.)  Firefighter Sage showed us what he looks like when he is in full gear. The highlight of the trip was getting a chance to sit up in the fire engine!

Pumpkin Contest and Costume Parade - What a busy day!








Big Kid Buddies

Each kindergartner is paired up with one or two big kid buddies, from Kate Rabideau's 4th grade class. We get together once a week to do fun activities together, as well as sit together each week at All School Sing. It's a lot of fun and it's a great way to build community at our school!





Four Winds

In our October Four Winds lesson, we learned about seeds and how and why they travel with a fun puppet show. Then we headed outside to look for seeds and share the seeds we found.
