Police Officer

This week we got a visit from Officer Shelbie Boyd of the Tacoma Police.  She shared with us some ways to stay safe.  One of the most important was to know our own address and phone number in case we got lost.  She also shared with us not to talk to strangers in our neighborhood and to let our parents know if we have been approached by someone.  She shared a story of when she was a girl and a man followed her.  She ran home and told her mother and described the man's car and the police were able to stop him.  She told us not to share our information with people online either.  Finally she took us outside to see her car.  We got to sit inside it and touch almost everything.  It was pretty impressive!

Because know their addresses and phone numbers is so important, (my own child doesn't know hers either.) we decided to have the children learn their information this week.  I will have a surprise for when the children learn their address and phone. 

We are hoping to do a field trip next week with Lower Core to the Caterpillar Plant.  Shannon Hayes is planning it.  More information to follow.
