Important Dates!

The firefighters will be here on Wednesday, October 18. We always look forward to their visit! They will teach us to Stop, Drop, and Roll...show us the fire truck...and sometimes they even let us try out the fire hose!

(Just found out the fire fighters have postponed. I'll post the new date when I find out.)

Monticello Train Field Trip!

Just seeing the train made everyone excited!
These two gentlemen used Morse Code when they started working for the railroad in the 1940's.
We were taken through an old time sleeping car.
I snuck these two in for a picture!
Okay, I threw in quite a few...quickly...so I could get their pictures.
Some rooms had their own commodes. Of course, the students found that fascinating!
We were able to walk through an old time mail car...
Here they learned how repairs were made to the train wayside lights.
Back to the mailroom...many children came back and put this room in their journals.
Waiting for the 'safe car'....we watched a cartoon on track safety....how children should not run up to the tracks to put anything on them and they should not try to outrun a train.
