Emily's First Field Trip

This past week Emily had her very first field trip. They went to a local park to learn about safety and have a lot of fun. Emily was most excited to be able to ride a on a school bus for the first time.

Emily's Kindergarten class getting ready to listen to the saftey presentations.

One of the saftey lessons was bicycle safety. They also learned about stop signs, railroad crossings, and stop lights. When they were asked what a red light meant they said, stop, green meant go and yellow meant......go faster! =) (Do as I say not at as I do I guess.) Then they were allowed to ride their bikes around the city

This is Emily ready to get going on her bike. They provided everyone with a helmet. If you are wondering about the hair net, it was required to ride. I guess they did not want the kids to share potenetial "head germs" with all the other kids with the helmets. And there were A LOT of kids there that day. She also let me know again, that she wants Santa to bring her a girl bike for Christmas. She really loved riding that bike!

They got to visit a fire house at that is 106 years old. They got to see a lot of cool old fire stuff including a fire engine.

They learned all about fire safety. While there, they asked the kids if their family had a fire escape plan and if their family had a fire extinguisher. Emily raised her had for "no" on both counts. I guess our Family Home Evening from about a month ago did not sink in to well!
