Good morning explorers!
We miss being with you in the forest! Remember how we played camping last class and built a campfire? Well, fire makes smoke and smoke isn’t healthy for our bodies. I’m so thankful for all the firefighters and people who are helping put out the fires and protect us. Let’s say a big THANK YOU together for the people helping.
