Community Helpers

The last couple of weeks we have talked about a few people in the community and what their different jobs are. We talked about farmers and all the hard work they do to supply us with fruits and vegetables. We learned about the job of a police officer and made some hats and police badges that the kids got to wear so they looked like a police officer. We also learned about the job of a baker. How they get up so early to start baking all their foods and have to make sure they measure the ingredients and follow each recipe. We made chocolate chip cookies this day. Next we talked about Fire fighters to go along with our field trip that was today. For cooking we made smores. I originally wanted to make a camp fire to cook the marshmallows but thought it would probably be a little too much work. I am glad I passed on it because we were running out the door after a busy day with melting chocolate all over the kids faces. Our field trip was great. The Fire Fighter reminded the kids to get down low to stay away from smoke and to get out of the building as fast as they could if there was a fire. We also got to see all the trucks they drive and got to look inside of them.

Cooking yummy smores and making some fire fighters that looked like themselves.




Trip to the Lehi Fire Station: Getting ready to watch a movie about Fire Safety.

 Heavy, heavy coats they wear.

 Happy to all get our own little Fire Hat.
 Make a silly face :)

We had lots of green on today since it is St. Patrick's day. Before the field trip we had a great time eating a green breakfast and finding out that our Leprechaun traps didn't catch a Leprechaun but he did leave us some gold. :)
