God picks you from the patch and brings you in John 15:16
As October came along we were excited for cooler weather and pumpkin fun, but our greatest excitement came with new friends in Toddler A. Just as a pumpkin grows , so did our room. We are blessed indeed.
The love from our Lord is oh so sweet. The excitement we get as friends in our classroom family is just one of the beautiful moments of our day.
Today, our preschool participated in the Great California ShakeOut, and we couldn’t be prouder of the kiddos for their remarkable performance during the emergency drill. After a thorough “duck and cover” practice in our cozy classrooms, we congregated on the “big field,” surrounded by eager elementary and junior high students who were simulating an actual disaster, complete with an emergency triage first-aid station. The entire drill lasted almost 25 minutes, but throughout the experience, our young learners displayed incredible focus, listening intently to their teachers and following directions with unwavering enthusiasm. Their commitment to safety shone brightly, making the event both educational and inspiring. The children were also delighted to see members of the Pasadena Police and Fire Department on campus to witness our drill.
Our friends at the preschool had a visit from the firefighters! Everyone’s eyes lit up as they arrived in our parking lot. They showed us their special gear, turned on their siren, and we even got to help them spray the fire hose!
Lucky us, the firefighters came and visited our littles! 🚒
they talk to us about a firefighters job and the importance of what they do. They also showed us their suits, gear, how their truck works, the water hose, and of course the siren 🚨
we had so much fun and even got stickers at the end!
Having the firefighters visit the preschool was such a treat and a great introduction to Fall. The kids had a blast learning fun facts (e.g., firefighters won’t go into a burning building to save pets) and answering some questions (e.g., what 3 numbers do you dial to reach firefighters?) about firefighting.

The firefighters allowed each and every student to try out the fire house!
On Friday, the firefighters picked a teacher volunteer to try on the fire suit. That’s Ms. Silvia above. (The kids learned that firefighters have to put on their suit in one minute or less.)
