{An Alarming Field Trip}

      Today our class visited the Alma Fire Station.  Mr. Marty and Mr. Gary taught us a lot about fire safety and how the Alma Fire Dept. fights fires.  We learned about each truck and what it was used for.  (Some are used primarily for fighting grass fires when the farmers conduct  their spring burn.)

     As a teacher, I was thrilled when I was chatting outside with a couple parents and their children after school.  There was a fire call and three emergency vehicles flew by.  The students witnessing this were able to identify the vehicles and what they do.  They were so excited to see these vehicles in action!   It makes a teacher's heart swell when she sees how much her students have learned!

 .....Coming soon....students will write about their experience at the fire station.....
