We started the week with a visit from the Berwyn Fire Company. They talked with us about fire safety and showed us their special firefighting gear! They left in a hurry to go help with an emergency but they were awesome and came back for a quick photo! We love those firefighters! This was also the start of our Pumpkin Week! We read some great books about pumpkins and learned about the lifecycle of these seasonal favorites. Today’s Pumpkin Extravaganza was a blast! The children measured, estimated, counted and weighed some gorgeous pumpkins! Thank you to all of the parents who donated the pumpkins and who donated their time to help run the math stations. It was the perfect end to our pumpkin mania! Next week we will meet our 3rd grade buddies and talk about Halloween!
