This week was extra special and full of excitement\u2014we finally went on our much-anticipated field trip<\/strong>\ud83d\ude92\ud83d\ude91 to the fire station<\/strong>! We had been talking about it every day, and you could really feel their curiosity growing. In class, we\u2019ve been inquiring into road safety and how special vehicles help protect us and keep our community safe. Even on our daily walks and bus rides, the students now spot street signs and proudly explain what they mean and why they matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visit was packed with discoveries! We explored an ambulance and learned about the important tools used to help people in emergencies. We also watched a small fire engine in action and examined the equipment it carries. When we noticed a red van behind the truck, one student excitedly said, \u201cThat\u2019s the Shikisha! (command vehicle)\u201d What a great example of sharing prior knowledge and making connections!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highlight for many was the big ladder truck, called the Hashigousha<\/em><\/strong>. We learned that the \u201cL15\u201d on the front shows the length of its ladder, and that there are different types of ladder trucks used in different areas. The children asked thoughtful questions, shared ideas, and showed real enthusiasm for learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day, our classroom was filled with smiles, excitement, and lots of love! We created a very special craft for our dear Mom and Dad. They even got to choose which craft they wanted to make, which made the activity extra meaningful and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we started, we talked a little about Valentine\u2019s Day and why we celebrate it: sharing love, kindness, and appreciation with the people who are special to us. We worked carefully and proudly on our creations, already imagining the big smiles on their parents\u2019 faces.\ud83d\ude0d HAPPY VALENTINE`S DAY!!!<\/strong>\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
