Fire Station

For the past month, Ashton has been learning about "people who help us" in preschool. His teacher has had a police officer and a doctor come talk to them during their class. This past week we went on a field trip to the fire station to meet the fire fighters and paramedics. I was excited for this field trip as I have never been to a fire station before. The tour took about an hour and our guide was really nice and patient with the kids. We were able to see 2 of the 3 trucks they use in an emergency. The kids were able to climb inside and look at all the different compartments. We also watched a video on the different trucks they use and were able to see a fireman with all his gear on. I was proud of the fact Ashton was not afraid of him. He went right up to him and asked him questions. It was a really fun field trip and I know Ashton LOVED it. I learned a lot about the fire fighters and paramedics that I didn't know as well. The cutest part was watching the kids sing to the fire fighters. They had hand motions and you could actually hear all the words they were saying. Thanks Mrs. Moore for the wonderful experience, we had a lot of fun!
