Fall Parade

It was a great day for our parade and snack today. The kids really enjoyed our morning of fun and festive songs and stories and are so eager for tomorrow to come! Even though the track was in use, we really enjoyed parading through the building and then doing the short loop around the bus circle. The weather was cooperative (even though the 'big bad wolf was blowing around the three little pigs!) and I hope it stays that way for tomorrow. It seemed like the adults and visitors all had a good viewing spots along the circle and it made for a bit more time for us to enjoy our snacks in the classroom afterwards! Thanks to everyone who was able to join us and help out. The kids were great during our snack and a fun time was had by all!

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween! Don't forget to turn your clocks back tomorrow night!

Fall Parade

Fall Parade Update: Our Fall Parade location has been changed due to the track sectionals being held at the football field/track. We will now be parading around the bus circle and parents/guests can watch from either the sidewalk area or the grass on the inside of the circle. See you at

Lansing Firefighters Come to School!

Last Friday we had a wonderful visit from some of our local firefighters! The rain held off and they did a great job explaining to the kids what they do, showing us their equipment and gear, and teaching the children what to do in an emergency situation. They set up a fun obstacle course where the children had to stay low and go to follow the hose and then they got to climb up the ladder. The highlight was definitely trying on the firefighter's coat which was definitely much heavier than expected! We then got a chance to take a look at the fire engine and all the equipment the truck carries. We got to go inside both the engine and the rescue truck and we even got to try to pick up the 'jaws of life.' It takes two adults to pick it up... amazing how heavy it was! We had a great time but most importantly we learned that the firefighters are our 'friends' and hopefully their fears will be a bit diminished if they ever come face to face with them in a true emergency.

Today the kindergarten classes participated in Jumpstart's Read for the Record. Please click on the picture above to find out more. Our goal was to be a part of the largest shared experience ever by reading Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We gathered together in the hall and the children were great listeners! They enjoyed it so much they asked for it to be read again! We will keep you posted to see if we helped break last year's record of 688,000 people reading together.

It's Fire Prevention Week!

Have fun practicing some fire safety with Elmo!

The Lansing Firefighters will be coming to visit us tomorrow!

We had a lot of fun practicing how to dial 911 with some demo cell phones! See if your child can remember what to do and what to say.
