Community Helper Fair

Today at Parker's preschool they had a Community Helper Fair. They have been learning about community helpers all month long and have had a fireman, dentist, librarian, and policeman come and talk to them. They do not celebrate Halloween at his preschool but instead have a fair where the kids get to "become" some of the community helpers they have been learning about. There were 8 different stations and the kids rotated around and got to do the jobs of the community helpers. They also got to dress up like a community helper. Parker wore his scrubs and was an optometrist like his daddy.

Hammering like a handyman

Driving a tow truck
Picking up trash like a garbage collector (This was Parker's favorite station!)
Delivering mail like a mail carrier

Planting seeds like a gardener

Taking care of animals like a veterinarian

Decorating cookies like a baker

Parker had a great time participating in the fair today and it was fun for Cory and I to see him interacting with the other kids in a school setting.

The cutest thing that happened was at the end of the fair when they were lining up to go outside. Parker just happened to be the line leader for his class today. As they were lining up, someone tried to get in front of him and he said, "Hey, I'm the lead liner!" Such a classic Parkerism- I am so glad I was there to hear him say it!
