Who Works in Our Community?

We've been reading the story, "Who Works Here?" this week. Today we talked with some people who work in our community. Stephanie and Matt and Taya came to read to our class today. Matt is a Joplin police officer and Steph is a pediatric nurse practitioner.

The fact that it is Drug Awareness Week really brought up some interesting questions and stories for Matt.

They asked Steph if she gives shots.

And they asked Taya about preschool.

Their daughter, Taya, is only four but she read a book to our class. We were really impressed!

Then they signed autographs and took pictures.

Matt made them all Jr. Police Officers and made them promise to be kind to others and obey their teacher. Then he gave them a badge.

The kids enjoyed showing Taya our centers.

Thanks Matt, Steph, and Taya for coming to our class. We had a lot of fun!

Here's a little video of Taya reading her book to us. Wow!
