📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸 

We had a very special guest with us on Tuesday!  My daughter, (Miss) Katie, joined us for some fine motor fun!!!  She can't wait for her next school break so she can come back in to play with our sweet friends again!!  (She's finishing up her Masters Degree in Special Education this year!!)

She helped us with a skill we usually don't attempt until January!!

We were SO IMPRESSED with how well our little artists did!!

And we did SO WELL on sewing and beading too!!

Then we balanced our "Five Little Pumpkins" on  GATES that we designed all by ourselves!!!

(Shhh... don't tell your little engineers that they were participating in a tasty STEAM Lesson!!!)

Look who else couldn't help but join in on all of the fun!!!!!

We did so well writing our Letter D's!!

Then we went to the Bounce House and Parachute Stations!!

Then we were onto Sensory Fun!!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all of our Fall Fun Day Volunteers!!!!

We could not have done it without you!!!

We played so hard that we  actually ran out of energy by the end of the day!!!!

(And as you all know... THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!! lol)

Our Five Day friends came back on Thursday for some more Fall FUN!

We loved finishing up our Triangle Crows!

Our Masterpieces are now on display in the Learning Center Hallway Gallery for all to enjoy!!

We loved squirting water out of the firefighter's hose!!

We did so well on our Firetruck craft!

🙏We thanked God for giving us all of our Community Helpers that help keep us safe and healthy.🙏

Then we went to the Roxbury Fire Department Fire Safety Presentation!!

🚒🔥Thank you Roxbury Firefighters!!!!!🔥🚒

Our Afternoon Friends had so much fun Dressing the Firefighter in her Protective Gear!

Then we played the "Hot or Not" Safety Game too!

And we wrapped up the afternoon with a little Blippi Visits the Fire Station Video!

The Roxbury Firefighters gave all of our kiddos some homework this weekend...

Please check your Smoke Detector Batteries and go over your fire evacuation and reunification plans!!  Choose a safe spot to meet up with your family in the event of an emergency (ex: a tree, a gate, mailbox, etc...) and practice together!!

🙏Let's pray that it will never be needed.🙏
