Hurry, Hurry, Drive the Fire Truck! Day 2: Nov. 2026

Day 2 of our firefighter visits, this time from Station 36! Wed., Nov. 11th – Happy Veterans Day 2026!

The firefighters taught us about calling 911 for help and what kind of help they provide. For instance, if a fire alarm goes off or someone needs medical assistance.

The firefighters showed us how they use the different hoses on their fire engine. The children all had an opportunity to touch some of the controls and hoses before they showed us how they work.
The firefighters also showed us how they use the lights, sirens, and even the horn to let people know they’re coming. 
Dear God,

We thank You for all the brave individuals who serve as everyday heroes in the fire department. May Your grace surround and protect them as they go about their days saving lives and serving our community. Protect them, Lord, guide them, and be with them during both their stressful moments and their calm ones. We are grateful for their service, and we pray that You would watch over them as they watch over all of us. 

In Jesus' name, we pray; Amen.

Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck! Nov. 2026

Day 1 of our firefighter visits from Pasadena Fire Station 38! Tuesday, Nov. 10th

The firefighters gave us a tour of their fire engine and all the equipment it holds. We also learned the difference between a fire truck and a fire engine. A fire truck has the big ladders; a fire engine carries water.

Firefighter Joseph showed us how quickly they have to get ready in an emergency. They have to get everything on in 60 seconds or less. Firefighter Joseph did it in 36 seconds!

The firefighters received an emergency call and had to leave, but we are so appreciative of the time we had together and of these everyday heroes and the incredible job they do.

Falling for Fun in Room 4

Our little learners had the opportunity to decorate pumpkins and carve one with Ms. Mariza!

Beyond the classroom, we explored more; scooping the insides of a pumpkin, painting, and using playdough to decorate our pumpkins.

At the beginning of October, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month by making guacamole!

Apple Pumpkin Days in Room 1

Our Apple Pumpkin Days were so much fun!

On Day 1, the children made apple donuts using round apple slices with delicious toppings. They also enjoyed apple stamping with red, green, and yellow paints. Earlier this week, the children participated in a blindfolded taste test of red and green apples, shared their favorites, and we created an Apple Tasting Graph. We also carved a pumpkin and explored its seeds and gooey insides!

A special thank-you to our parent volunteers, Ms. Alice (Luna’s mom) and Ms. Kelli (Dylan’s mom), for helping with our activities and reading Ten Apples Up on Top by Dr. Seuss and The Pumpkin Patch Parable by Liz Curtis Higgs.

On Day 2, we made delicious pumpkin waffles with yummy toppings. We explored pumpkins, gourds, and squash through still-life paintings and tissue paper pumpkin crafts, and we carved another pumpkin and created a pumpkin volcano to observe a chemical reaction!

Our wonderful parent volunteers, Ms. Julie (Eve’s mom) and Ms. Anna (Timmy’s mom), helped with our activities and read The Pumpkin Patch Parable by Liz Curtis Higgs and The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming to the children.

Through our apple and pumpkin activities, the children explored their senses, practiced their fine motor skills, expressed their creativity, explored colors, shapes, and textures through art, observed a chemical reaction with our pumpkin volcano, and developed listening and comprehension skills through stories.

A heartfelt thank-you to all our families who signed up to donate ingredients for our food activities and generously donated pumpkins and gourds of all shapes and sizes! We truly appreciate your support in making our Apple Pumpkin Days special. The children had so much fun!

Apple & Pumpkin Days in Room 5!

We celebrated our annual Apple and Pumpkin Days! We had lots of fun stamping with apples, making Cinnamon Apple Pie Crescents, exploring pumpkins and making Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! A big thank you to our amazing parents who brought items for our cooking and helped in our classroom!

🍎🎃 Apple Pumpkin Day! 🎃🍎

We had a wonderful time celebrating Apple Pumpkin Day! The children got creative decorating their own pumpkins with little eyes and mouths. We also had fun exploring a pumpkin, touching and feeling its texture and discovering what was hiding inside. What did we find? Pumpkin seeds! 🎃

Our celebration continued with delicious pumpkin pancakes prepared by Ms. Irma and, of course, some yummy apples!

From decorating and exploring to tasting our autumn treats, it was a day full of fun, curiosity, and little discoveries! 🍂
