Safety Town

Alexandra had safety town this week. I think safety town is a great experience for the kids. I don't know if safety town is a widespread idea or just a local tradition but I hope my other two kids get to go to Safety Town. Monday a Fireman came. The children got to help him spray his hose, go in his truck, and learn that Firemen are not scary, they are our friends. Another day a lady came to talk to them about "Safe Touch". A policeman was there several of the days. Thursday, they took a ride around town on a school bus. One of the highlights of the week was riding tricycles around the "safety town" where they learned about stoplights, stop signs, cross walks, etc. YOu can't tell from the pictures but the little buildings all have names of local businesses (The Rock Pile, Target, Henkel Consumer Adhesive (aka makers of Duct Tape) etc.) Friday the week culminated with a graduation. She had a blast!
