Safety and a Special Guest

Last week we read the story, "Officer Buckle and Gloria". (I love this story... it's one of my favorites!) It's a fun book about a police officer who teaches safety tips like, never put anything in your ear and never stand on a swivel chair!

Throughout the week we talked about ways we can be safe doing our favorite activities:

And the ways we can be safe in the different places we might go:

To wrap up our little unit on safety, we had a very special guest stop by... Meet Mr. Hoyer! (Better known as Mr. Aiden's dad.) He works at Clackamas County Sheriff's Department and he came by our classroom to talk to us about the many different ways we can be safe.

Then... the most exciting part... we got see Officer Hoyer's car! Each kid got a turn sitting in the (very uncomfortable!) back seat. What a treat! He also turned on the lights and gave a couple of hits on the siren. I heard a couple of the kids say, "This was the best day ever!"

What a fun experience! Thank you Officer Hoyer, for sharing your safety tips! (And, the cool car, of course!)
