We are learning about community helpers this week. Yesterday, the paramedics visited our class. They brought Pete, their remote control EMS vehicle for children. The children were able to walk through the ambulance and watch Graham, our volunteer patient, get loaded on the gurney and into the ambulance. Today a police officer will be visiting at the end of the day. Tomorrow the fire department will visit.

Next week, Miss Gaddis will start a unit on birds. We have six duck eggs in our incubator. They should hatch sometime the last week in April.

We also have a need for more bird seed for the feeders. We have a finch feeder and a regular feeder. Both kinds of bird seed would be appreciated.

We will be dyeing eggs on Friday. Be sure to send 4 hard-boiled eggs to school with your child.

We have enjoyed warm weather lately. Sometimes it is still cool when the children go outside at lunch. Be sure to send some kind of jacket in case they need one.
