Friday, December 12
Today we read the book, "I Want To Be A Firefighter," about a girl whose Dad is a firefighter. We noticed trucks have ladders and hoses. We sang "911" and "Fire, Fire, Fire," with bells and followed that up with "Jingle Bells," of course. At meeting I lit a candle and we shut out the lights, thinking about how people used fire before electricity. I showed children a lighter and we discussed the safety of only having an adult use a lighter because of what fire does - burns. Children seem to understand the seriousness of fire.

Jane Sullivan
- My husband Kevin and I reside in Arlington with our son, Jim, graduate of Minuteman High and our daughter, Katie, presently a junoir at Minuteman. I have been in our Early Childhood program for 11 years. I guess you could say the Sullivans share a great love and respect for this school, no matter what program of interest you are in. Early Childhood is more than a job to me. It is an experience in itself. Each year is different, because each child is different. But the love for them remains the same.
About Me
- Chippy
- I live in Stoneham with my husband John. Our home is a converted barn and a great place to raise children. Our children, Lindsay, (married to Mike), Chris and Jeff played a lot of hide and seek here. They are now "adults" although I find as a parent you never quite think your kids are grown up. I taught as an aide, teacher, and director in a Head Start program for 5 years; worked at Medford High School as a teacher and director of a child care center for 6 years and now begin my 9th year at Minuteman. I am still amazed by children's curiosity, perserverance and laughter.
