Friday: Field Trip!

Firefighters!

We had an unexpected surprise at Discovery Garden on Thursday…a fire truck came to our school!! Our original plans to have a field trip at the fire station fell through, so we were beginning to make new plans for our field trip. Right in the middle of lunch, a fire truck rolls in our parking lot. We all rushed to the windows; we were curious as to what they were doing. After they parked the truck, the firemen came into Discovery. They came to see the kids!! Somehow amongst all the confusion, plans were made for the fire truck to visit us. Funny how it all worked out! The only bummer was that some of the kids missed outL

The firemen were sooo nice! They talked to the kids about fire safety, showed them their fire gear, let the kids touch their uniforms, and let the kids sit in the fire truck! It was very cool!
