Community Field Trip

The second graders have been learning about communities in Social Studies and last week they went on a walking field trip around downtown.  (Just as a side note... our little downtown Main Street has been featured on show such as Homeland.  Pretty cool.)

I loaded Henry and Alexander in the car and we drove up to join them for a while. We started at the post office where they each mailed a letter.  William's traveled further than another letter.

We then headed over to town hall where the mayor took time to talk with us.  He was pretty funny and the kids loved him.  William thought it was pretty awesome that they got to see the mayor. 

Next we walked over to the fire station.  We got a little tour of the place and the firemen showed off their truck.

While the second graders went into the station to learn about fire safety I entertained the little boys outside.

By this time it was past nap time so we headed back to the car.  I'm sad that we had to miss the police station, ice cream and the park for lunch!
