Sparky's Visit

The West Memphis Fire Department and Sparky came to Maddux this week to teach us about fire safety.

We learned to look for things in our home that are fire hazards.  Families also need to have a meeting place outside the house to know everyone is safe in case of a fire.  

A fireman put on his fire-fighting gear to let us know what he would look like if he entered our house during a fire.  We also got to hear how he would sound.  

Thank you to the West Memphis Fire Department and Sparky for helping us learn about fire safety!

This year half of our language arts grade is from decodable text assessments.  These consist of nonsense words.  Students are to blend the sounds together to say the word.

Some examples:  flup, kuz, shap, zash

Please listen to your child read these.  I have assigned them for Monday and Wednesday's homework.  It would be beneficial to go over these every night.
