Community Helpers

As part of their unit on Community Helpers, Kindergarten students had the opportunity to listen to two real-life community helpers speak during class this week.

On Tuesday, Firefighter Mike, a firefighter at the Omaha Fire Department came and gave a presentation on fire safety. Kindergarten students loved seeing Firefighter Mike put on his special firefighting gear and learn about the importance of having a family meeting place if a fire would ever occur at home.

On Friday, Kindergarten students met Mrs. B., a children’s librarian at the Bellevue Public Library. Mrs. B read two books about community helpers to the students. Students especially loved interacting with the books! Mrs. B. brought special supplies so they could make their own book in class sometime. 🙂
