Officer Marcie Visited Kindergarten

We had a wonderful guest last week. Officer Marcie came to our Kindergarten classes to explain the importance of our police force in the community. The police is a very important community helper who helps to protect us everyday. Officer Marcie talked about how the children can recognize a police officer when they see one and know that a police officer is a safe adult to come for help. The children were so excited that they never stopped raising their hands to ask questions which were outlandish at times but nevertheless made the teachers chuckle and smile!

In the afternoon, Officer Marcie brought another police officer, Officer Julie! The children were all buzzed up about our special guests.

I asked Officer Marcie how important is it for a police officer to know their ABC's and 123's. And she told the little ones that it is very important for them to know how to read and write because they need to write their reports to their boss and colleagues, read signs and do a lot of important things concerning literacy.

The children loved Officer Marcie's visit so much that James D. asked me twice while I was checking attendance the next day, "Are we going to have a police officer visit again?" I chuckled at James' cute question!

Thank you, Officer Marcie and Officer Julie, for visiting!
