We had a fun and busy week at preschool!
On Tuesday, the morning class had Wildlife Biologist Randall Thacker come and talk about his job. He brought lots of cool stuff and the students LOVED it! (That's why they were late getting out--sorry!) He brought a moose, a bobcat, and a cougar skull to look at. He talked to the students about the differences in their teeth and their size. Then he brought out a bear collar and told about how they track the bears. The last pictures are from a buffalo skin he brought. It's only half of one, and it was huge and very heavy!
Since I had to cancel preschool on Thursday, our police officer guest was unable to come. Officer Owen was kind enough to drop by for a minute to talk to the afternoon class. They really liked the lights and sirens, although the siren was pretty loud. He talked about guns and safety, and then a little about wildlife. He brought in elk antlers for the students to feel. Thanks!

The afternoon class also got to hear Erin (Ava's mom) come and talk about music. She played a few pieces on the piano, and then played a few for them to sing to (like Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes). Then each child got a chance to play the piano for a minute.
On Wednesday Tycen's dad, Oliver, came and talked to the students about being a contractor. He brought in his tool belt, several tools and blueprints to show the children. They enjoyed that. Then we took them outside and they each got a chance to hammer a nail into a piece of wood. They really liked that. Each of the children put on an apron and safety goggles before they hammered. The morning class did this too, but I didn't get any pictures.
Hope you all had a great spring break, and are all ready to come back to school next week! A HUGE thanks to all our special guests!
