In keeping with our animal theme for the zoo visit, we discussed animals that are rescue heroes. We watched a video of Officer Buckle and Gloria. We talked about police dog heroes and water dog heroes. These dogs can jump from a helicopter swim out to an unconscious person, turn them over and drag them to shore. Amazing. The children discussed which type of water dog they would want. We also talked about Animal Control officers and how they not only keep us safe from dangerous animals that are loose, but they also rescue lost or hurt pets. We finished up by making a paper bag puppet police dog. On Feb 19 we will have a chance to meet some real search and rescue dogs when they visit us.
Next week we will have a visit from a health inspector (not to inspect the church, but to share with us what she does in her job.) She is going to share some fun experiments with us.
February 12, we will be visiting the Edgewood Fire Station. We will meet at the church and carpool. Teacher Isabel and I don't have enough room for all the children, so we need another volunteer with space in their car to come with us. You are welcome to bring siblings. Just let me know how many will be coming so I can let the station know. There is no cost to tour the station. I will be passing out field trip permission slips next week.
