Bye Ms. Dana!

Well, today is a sad day! Ms. Dana is graduating Nursing School and will begin her work in a hospital next week....We are all VERY sad, but very happy for her as well. She will be missed by all of us but she has promised to visit often.

We are now into our SPRING unit. Easter is just right around the corner, too! We have planned our Easter Egg Hunt for Thursday, April 9 at 9:00. Another date to save is Tuesday, April 28, when the Care Bears will go on our annual ZOO trip!!!

Shannon's Scoop...

Hanging out in the 'day room' at the Fire Department

This week was exciting for the Care Bears...but wait until the week we have ahead! Our Care Bears got to go the Bryant Fire Department for a tour! This morning an ambulance came to visit, so we could check out the inside and how they take care of hurt people in emergencies. Ms. Becky's Care Bears were able to see everything, but Ms. Gail's class had to cut their turn short because the Paramedics had a REAL EMERGENCY! We heard the call they got and they had to leave and help someone. We watched them speed off with the lights on and the siren going. We hope they can come back soon.

Next week's scheduled Community Helpers:

The Bryant Fire Department will come HERE to see Pooh Bears at 9:00 Tuesday

Mr. Jeff, Pulaski County Deputy Sheriff (also Ms. Ashley's husband) will be here at 9:00 Wednesday

Mrs. Godwin, a Dental Hygienist (also Lawson's mom) will speak to Pooh Bears and Care Bears Thursday morning at 9:00

Shannon's Scoop...

We painted with ice....using indigo blue frozen paint, because this week our letter was I.

We've finished our All About Me unit and we are moving on to Community Helpers. This week the Care Bears will go to the Bryant Fire Department to take tour. We will leave at 8:45 Tuesday morning, so make sure to leave your booster seat in the hallway. Next week, a fire truck, and the firemen, too :) will come out to see the Pooh Bears. We will have some other exciting visitors coming to see us.....look for pictures soon!
