Singing, Firefighters and Concert Time!

Here we are at our Christmas Carol Sing Along this morning.  Just so you know, the kids who play the instruments volunteer to do so.  Not everyone wants to have a turn, that's why you might see some of the same kids having more than one turn.  They do a great job keeping the beat!

This morning, we had a visit from some of our District of North Vancouver firefighters.  They came in to talk to us about fire safety and to show us what it looks like when they are wearing all of their fire gear.  (I heard one of the firefighters whisper to another of the firefighters "this is the best class we've ever visited"....they really are!)

Stop, Drop and Roll

I can't remember what one of the kids said here, but the firefighter was so amazed with our knowledge that he collapsed on the floor (they kept commenting that they didn't really need to visit this class because we already know so much about how to stay safe in case of a fire).

Practicing "stop, drop and roll"

Practicing "get low and go" (if there is smoke in the room)

Then the firefighter showed us how they put on their gear and let us see what they look like with it all on.  They also let us hear how they sound with their mask on and the air tank connected.

 Then, this afternoon, we did a run through of the Christmas Concert.  We start the show with all of the kids singing Jingle Bells.  We are sitting on the edge of the stage.

Then, when it's our turn to sing Suzy Snowflake, we get to stand on the risers on the stage.

At the end of the show, all the kids sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" (I didn't get a photo of that)

The kids did such a wonderful job. And, we get to do it all again tonight!  See you at the classroom between 6:30 and 6:45.  Kids should dress in "holiday best".  You will pick your child up from the classroom when we are all finished.  

See you in a couple of hours!
