Fire Truck Day

We had a brief visit from the Baltimore City Fire Department on Friday October 14, 2011.

The firefighters (bomberos in Spanish) talked about fire (fuego in Spanish) prevention and they even demonstrated how to use a smoke detector. The children listened to the alarm (alarma in Spanish) and were asked if they had a working one at home. The fire department will come to your home and install a smoke detector if you need one.

Black History Projects

First of all we would like to thank everyone of you for helping the children to learn a little about the black people in history who have paved the way for the way we are able to live today.  For this assignment we asked the children to refrain from using President Obama and Dr. Martin Luther King.  


So just in case you missed our hallway display, take a look here below.

Fire Prevention Week

For fire prevention week we had the Baltimore City Fire Department come and demonstrate and talk to the children about fire safety.  

Firefighter Shields will demonstrate to the children...

When someone is on fire, First, we STOP!

Then we DROP!

And ROLL!!!

Until the fire is out and the person is safe.

Thank you to:
Firefighter/Paramedic Eric McDonald
Firefighter, Selwyn Shields
EVD, Gary Nelson
Lt. Ken McNeill

Emergency Vehicle Driver, Gary Nelson in full rescue gear.

This is what you would see a fighter wear in a real fire rescue situation...

 If the building is smokey and you need to rescued, they will crawl around to find you and bring you to safety.

The children all gathered around to see a real firefighter... He wanted to assure them to not be afraid of the gear and that he is a friendly guy :).

One Month Down

September is almost gone and we have had a great start so far.  Our children are enrolled in their classes with the teachers for this year.  There are no more than 11 children per class and everyone gets all the attention they need and deserve.  


This year we will spotlight each and every one of our staff members so you can get to know them a little more intimately.  Even if your child is not in someone's class, it would be nice to know the other people your child may encounter on a daily basis.  Stay logged on for this upcoming information.

ED "Chocolate Lightning" REED

We are Baltimore Ravens fans here and we will have PURPLE Fridays during the football season.  Our team had a rough time on Sunday, but we should be able to make up for it this Sunday against Cleveland. Get Well soon to all the guys on IR.
GO RAVENS!!!
