Our Visit with Officer Friendly

Yesterday we had a visit from Officer Gunter. She is our classroom's "Officer Friendly." :) 
(She's also a friend of mine and Mrs. Pitts. We LOVE her!!)

We've asked her a few times to come to our classroom this year and speak about safety with the class. Our schedules all aligned up and we were able to have her visit us yesterday. :) She spoke to the classroom about lots of important information. She told them 3 important things that they should know by the end of the Kindergarten~ their full name, phone number and their address. She discussed talking to strangers, ways to cross the street safely, the different colors on the stoplight and much, much more!!  She even gave the students honorary police badge stickers and some earned candy. :) Along with a police safety book to bring home and share with their families.

Then as if it couldn't get any better, she drove her patrol car around to the bus loop and turned on the lights and sirens for the class. Or wait, let me correct the sirens part... :) She chose one student to sit inside her patrol car and turn the sirens on!!! The lucky student was Dillon.

Enjoy the slideshow! :)
