"I'm thankful for Officer Joe and you Ms. C because you both keep us safe from robbers."

I'm not sure how common robbers are in first grade, but it's nice to know that we are appreciated! Officer Joe finally made it to our classroom and quickly became the source of giggles, information, awe, and inspiration. There are about 15 out of 20 kiddos who are now going to become police officers when they grow up. Officer Joe graciously answered our many, and sometimes intricate questions, explained how he uses his tools, and through the book, Officer Buckle and Gloria explained the importance of rules in our classroom, home, and community. He even said he would be back in April with his police car! Check out our pictures!

Telling us about himself and his job.

Answering the many, many, many questions.

Reading Officer Buckle and Gloria.

Explaining each of his tools on his belt.

Look at how enthralled Connor and Kayden are...

This is completely unrelated to Officer Joe, but check out how Connor came into our classroom this morning... I'd say he was a little warm. (I laughed to the point of tears, and hope that you are too!)
