Our class filled our Dinosaur Jar! We earn dinosaurs when everyone is working quietly and on task and making good behavior choices during Special. We voted on a reward and selected Costume Day. Today learners were invited to wear a costume to celebrate. We had lots of fun!

Environmental Solutions
Today we wrapped up our Environment unit in Inquiry. We have been talking about how we can make small differences to reduce waste. After a class discussion we decided to do a few things at Brecknock. The students have noticed that some kids take too many squirts of soap in the bathrooms and too many paper towels. Today we hung little reminders on the soap dispensers and paper towel dispensers. We have also started recycling paper in our classroom and created a scrap paper box. Once our recycling bin is full I will take the paper to a recycling facility.
Fire Prevention Day
Friday was Fire Prevention Day. The Bowmansville Fire Company and Fivepointville Ambulance Company came to Brecknock. The kids were so excited to go through the “Smoke House” for the first time. It’s like a mini house on wheels where the fire fighters discuss fire safety tips. After the class goes upstairs to the “bedroom”, they fill the house with fake smoke (like a giant fog machine) and the smoke detector goes off. This gives learners a chance to practice crawling to stay below the smoke and exit. The EMTs introduced us to the equipment they use in the ambulance and when they go out on calls. Everyone was invited to climb through the fire truck and ambulance to check them out and got to take home a key chain and fire helmet too.
