Dear Ms. England’s Class,

What an exciting adventure Tidy Teddy and I just had.  We went to the grocery store and met 3 firefighters, who were there to buy food for their meals. The firefighters spend many days at the firehouse, working, eating, and sleeping.  They get their equipment ready in case the bell rings and they need to go to a fire. They also take turns cooking their meals and doing chores around the firehouse.

They asked if we would like to sit in their fire truck and try on a fire hat. Tidy Teddy said the hat was too big for him, but he jumped inside of it and discovered something very interesting….inside under the straps were photos of the firefighter’s family.

When it was time to leave, the firefighters invited us back to their firehouse.  When we arrived, they had some surprises for us to send to you. They hope you like it.

Please take a picture with your hats for the firefighters and send them a letter. They want to put your picture and letters in their firehouse to remind them of our fun day together.

Hugs,

Tidy Teddy & Ms. England’s Mom
