Second grade took a walk to MRFD Station #4 for a tour to wrap up our text set on heroes! The friendly crew taught us all about how their gear, engines, and tools work. Students also got a shot at operating the jaws of life and spraying the fire hose! Making meaningful text-to-life connections while learning more about our community was a perfect way to wrap up the week!
