Kindergarten Community Helpers

The Kindergarten classes have been discussing Community Helpers for the last couple of weeks.  We have read about them in our literacy blocks via the story Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip With Kindergarten, by Joseph Slate.  We are also discussing Community Helpers as part of our Social Studies curriculum.

This coincided nicely with the Fire Prevention Week.  Beverly Firefighters came to visit Cove School to discuss fire prevention and safety.  One firefighter even dressed in full gear, mask and all, to show what they would look like and sound like if they ever had to come to a house in the case of a fire. It was a great presentation to show that even though he might have looked and sounded scary with all of his gear on, he was still the same firefighter they saw before he got dressed.  The children were allowed to try on their heavy jackets and helmets.  They were very excited to do this, as you can see by the pictures!
