Fire Station and Police Visit

First grade continued our learning about community helpers by having police officers visit us here at school last week. Today we made up our walking field trip to the fire station, which had previously been rained out!

When the police visited we learned a bit about what police officers do in our town, how people become police officers, and what different parts of the job are.

When we visited the fire station today we reviewed fire safety, saw where the fire fighters have meetings, cook food, and stay over night, and we got to see the fire pole and climb inside of the trucks! Miss Ransom was also dressed up in one of the fire fighters uniform to show the kids the parts of the uniform and that the people inside of those suits are the same safe, friendly people we know when they are not in the suits (helping kids realize that they should not be afraid if they see fire fighters in full gear during an emergency).
