ABC's and 123's

Over the past couple of months Avery and I have had the chance to spend some time in Thomas and Allen's preschool classroom. It's amazing to see all the things they do in their class and all the things they learn. It seems like they learn things so much sooner now than I ever remember learning them! Their teacher, Mrs. Hall, is amazing and I am so thankful that she always makes it a point to include us in their classroom activities!

Last month, Avery and I were invited to come speak to their class about being Community Helpers. I talked to them about being a dispatcher, calling 911 in emergencies, and how police officers are there to help people. Avery was definitely a hit in his uniform with all his toys :) Avery taught the class about what he does as a police officer and explained what all his gadgets are for. The kids were awesome listeners and we were excited to get to spend some extra time with the boys :)



Today we were invited into Thomas and Allen's classroom for a special project. Mrs. Hall had asked Avery to put together a woodworking project for the kids, so Avery decided that we would help them build their very own toolboxes! I think Avery was even more excited than the kids :) He spent two weeks cutting out pieces and drilling the holes and made each kid their own "toolbox kit". They were definitely a hit! The kids were awesome at putting them together and were so happy to see the finished product!
