"C" is for... Community Helpers!




Hayden's preschool class went on a really fun field trip yesterday. They have been talking about Community Helpers for the letter "C" so we went to the Fire Station and the Post Office (apparently the Police Station couldn't let them come, or something). Hayden has been asking everyday "is it my field trip today?" so FINALLY the day had come! Our first stop was the Fire Station. They learned about fire safety and what to do if your house is on fire. Hayden remembered what they said, because this morning he told me "if your house is on fire, you have to go outside!" Good job Hayden! They got to see the equipment and the trucks (they even got to go inside the truck, but Hayden was so fast that the picture I tried to take just didn't work!) Bryson was super lucky and got to come, too, because he doesn't go to school until afternoon, and the field trip was in the morning. The Firemen gave all the kids Fire Chief hats, which they LOVED! Next we walked through the block to the post office. The kids all got to mail a letter to themselves, and then go into the back of the post office to see where the letters go and how the post office works. They thought it was pretty cool! After a snack, we headed back home.
