Kid's Talk

This morning, Pre-K children had their last session of Kid's Talk. Over the past 12 weeks, Ms. Rebecca from the Children's Advocacy Center has been meeting with our Pre-K children to talk about important safety topics. Each Kid's Talk session is about 10-15 minutes in length and includes time for children to ask questions.

Over the course of the program, children learned about fire safety, gun safety, and body safety. They learned an important body safety rule- "No. Go. Tell." We are proud of all of the important information the children have retained over these past few weeks. 

We are grateful to Ms. Rebecca for providing such an empowering learning experience for our children!

Firefighter Exploration

Recently, our Preschool Prep class has been very interested in fire trucks and fire fighters. The children were curious to know things like:

• Why is the siren on a fire truck so loud?
• Can both boys and girls be fire fighters?
• Where is the hose on the fire truck?
• Do you have to wear a seat belt on the fire truck?

Their exploration led to many activities and stories. The children were guided by their teacher, Ms. Stephanie K, who also arranged for a visit from the Grosse Pointe Woods Fire Department. All classrooms and ages were invited to participate. The children had the opportunity to ask questions, see and try on fire fighter gear, and explore the fire truck. 

What an awesome experience! Thank you GPW for supporting safety, learning and community involvement. Thank you for working hard each and every day to help keep us safe!
