We had lots of excitement in our Good Sam toddlers class today. The fire alarm went off half way through the class - and we were evacuated to nearby Rolf Park. It was reassuring to observe that the staff at the Good Samaritan Family Resource Center were well prepared for an emergency. It was also interesting to note that in the wake of the recent San Bruno fire, it was not at all hard to convince my families to leave their belongings behind and to move quickly and calmly to the designated location. Once the fire department declared the building safe (smoke from a fourth floor microwave set off the alarm) we returned happily to our class, continuing to make, of all things, bus and fire-engine pull-toys. I had no idea that the kids would be able to see a real fire truck during class-time today! We also had some of the best participation I've seen, mothers and toddlers participating in all aspects of the class. In spite of, (and perhaps even partially due to) the excitement - we had a great class!
