For the last couple of weeks the students have been working on some art work and ornaments for their tree at home. In math the students had to complete a candy cane ornament made with red, white and/or green beads. The students were required to complete the ornament in a pattern. The students also took part in the annual Christmas turkey lunch. Last week on a sunny morning the students noticed what looked like orange flames comming out of a chimney across the street. Since it looked to me like orange flames too, I decided to call 911. The fire department sent two trucks from Station 4. By the time the trucks arrived the sun had shifted and what looked like orange flames just turned out to be the sun reflecting off the heat exhaust from the house's furnace. Captain Shawn and firefighters Rob and Brandon were only too happy to talk with the students about their job and assured them that it was better to be safe and call the fire department even though there turned out to be no fire. Captain Shawn just asked the students to make sure they have a working smoke alarm at home. Also today we had a visit from Site Superintendent Catherine from Oscar Construction, who is responsible for running the new build. Oscar Construction is the company bulding the new addition to the school. She was happy to talk with the students about her job and answered many questions that the students had. Many students were very interested in the special clothing she had to wear for her job. She mentioned that when the construction is done the students would get a tour of the new rooms.
