School Days

A big event happened for the three and four year old classes at Cade' school last week... some firemen and a fire truck visited! They are learning all about community helpers this month and have already had visits from a physical therapist, police officer, and a UPS driver and truck (by far the most popular, next to the firetruck).

Thanks to a great schedule at work this semester, I was able to visit Cade's school while the fireman was there. It is so cute to see him in his normal school routine. He listens remarkably well to his teachers!

First, they saw the not-scary fireman with all of his gear on.



Then, they learned how to crawl under smoke to get out of a building.



Here we are with the firetruck!



Cade must be slowly starting to come around to pictures, because he actually asked me to take this one of him and his friends!



Checking out all of the tools



Each child received a fire hat. Cade really liked wearing his hat, but this is what happened when I tried to take his picture.



Escape from the evil camera! I guess he is not coming around to pictures after all :)

I had a great day at school last week too. On Friday, I was able to help pass out Aggie Rings. This was absolutely one of my proudest Aggie moments, and seeing the look on the students' faces when they received their rings was priceless. I was especially honored to present one of my former students with his ring. He came back to A&M later in life and will complete his student teaching next semester while he has 2 kids in school and one in college. Here I am with my student and his wife.



Congratulations, Class of 2012! Welcome to the Aggie Network!
