Officer Brinker came in again to read to our class today. He read the books, Previously, The New Girl, and The Giving Tree.
He had promised us he'd bring in dried seaweed to taste, and he did that today! I even tried some! Not too many kids liked it very well, but like he said, "Think of trying new things. Think of it as being "different" not bad." He also showed us his taser gun. It was very interesting - something else for me to learn as well as my kids. He was introduced to it at a training about ten years ago, and he told us they are a safe way to handle someone who is trying to hurt the police, another person, or him/herself.
Thank you to everyone who came to First Communion practice last night. It went well, and I am confident it will be a great day on Sunday! How exciting!!
I was very happy today when my kids "got it" for the borrowing in subtraction. Hooray!! It's fun to see the success and smiles on their faces when it connects. :-)
Have a good evening!
