As promised, Mrs. Clair came back and took us on a nauture walk to see the plants that First Nations peoples use as medicines. She showed us how they give a tobacco offering to Mother Earth for giving her people what they need. We also stopped at the lupin field on the way back.

The children really enjoyed this reading of the book "no Dragons For Tea". We watched it on You tube since Mrs. Hendry's voice is not good.

Check out Sparky the Fire Dog site with fire safety videos, activities and games that help children learn about fire safety: http://www.sparky.org/ We may need to learn the dance on the video with Steve Songs. We also drew a fire truck while watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg2NlEEYQt0

What a great day for a walk around the community and a visit to the fire station! Firefighters Dean and Jayde were there to give us a very informative tour. The children tried the hose and sat in the big seat wearing a helmet and holding the radio. They may be firefighters when they grow up!

The children loved listening to read alouds of the Otis the Tractor series that I read while we did farm related language arts activities. Here is the link to the Otis webpage so that you can find out about Otis too. There are games and videos as well as printable pages. http://www.otisthetractor.com/
The children also wanted a link to "How to Draw Otis" - I did not find one but here is a quick "How to draw a Tractor" link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJe6SreFlS4
