It's been an outstanding week. We've had visitors from all walks of life to talk to the kids about different jobs. It's been exciting to see the kids really focus on what our visitors had to say. Most of the children were well behaved and listened very politely.
On Monday, we had a visit from the ambulance people who talked to us about saving lives. The children got to investigate the ambulance vehicle. It was very exciting for the kids to see a real ambulance up close.
Monday afternoon, Kamden's dad came in to school to talk about farming. He's a farmer and grows corn and other grains in four states. He talked about dairy farming as well. He talked about animals and how it all works.
Tuesday, Alex's grandmother came in to school to show the kids how she decorates cakes. It was a really interesting to see a white plain cake turn into a pink rose covered treat. Then we ate the cake. The kids loved it.
On Wednesday, Dr. Rege our vet came into school to talk about doctoring animals. He was funny and worked on Miss Kelly's dog who also visited the school. She has a miniature pincher named Jeeter. Everyone at school uses Dr. Van Houten and Dr. Rege. They are marvelous vets.
Wednesday afternoon we had a visit from Joe Dickenson, our police father who talked to the children about being a police officer. The kids loved Joe and he showed them his police car and ran the siren and lights which they loved.
On Thursday, we had a visit from Mr. Jeff who is a physical trainer. He talked to the kids about staying in shape and eating right. He loved our lunch of peanut crusted chicken, cheesy potatoes, caramelized carrots and pears.
Late Thursday morning, Mr. Phil came in and talked to us about nursing. He let the kids listen to their hearts. The kids were thrilled.
Today is our visit from the fire department. We are hoping to be able to use the hose and to see the fire guys dress in their SCBAs (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus).
These visits have been really wonderful and the kids have really enjoyed it. We thank all our parents and friends for doing this for the school.
Today we are trying out baked salmon and baked potatoes. Miss Judy will talk today about cooking for kids.
