Police officer visit

We had a great day in preschool today! We had another community helper visit us today. Chase's dad is a deputy sherrif and visited our classroom this morning and afternoon. With the nice weather outside we gathered out front on the steps and got to see the police car, talk about what police officers do and how they can help us and even got to hear the sirens a few times. We also got to take turns and go up to the police car and take a peak inside. Did you know that the backseat in a police car is just a hard plastic bench? We all learn something new every day! :) Thank you very much Mr. VanDellen for visiting us and sharing stickers, tatoos and junior sherrif badges with us! Chase was VERY excited to have his dad visit him and all of his friends today!

With the great weather we took advantage of the opportunity to get lots of fresh air! It sure does make for a smoother day when we can step outside for a little while!

This week we have been reading Dr. Seuss books in honor of Dr. D's birthday this week. We have been doing lots of fun activities related to these books including water coloring painting fish after we read One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish and played with blue goo and laced on paper socks after reading Fox in Socks. We will be reading Green Eggs and Ham on Thursday and will be making green eggs and ham on Friday!

Tomorrow we are looking forward to another community helper visit by a paramedic (Claire's dad....one of Miss Sara's friends).
