We had a busy day in first grade today. Ms. Julie Wilson came to talk to the children about her job as a nurse. She let the children wrap bandages around pretend wounds, take their blood pressure, use a stethoscope, give shots, and much more. We saw how important her job was and how much she helps people. Thanks for coming Ms. Julie!

The children went on a nature scavenger hunt. It was a lot of fun and they all worked in pairs to find the answers to each question on their list. Please let them tell you about all of the things they found. We tied this activity in with a story that we read, describing words, and a science lesson. It was a great time for all of us!

Another special treat that we had today with our community helpers unit was a visit with Mr. Frazier. He came to tell us what he does in his job as our headmaster. He has a lot of responsibilities and we learned about the things he does each day. He comes very early and stays very late to make sure that everything is taken care for us and for our teachers. He said that he loved being at OUS. He even told us that we were his first grade friends. It's pretty neat to get to visit with the headmaster.

Tomorrow we will have more visitors to tell you about. We're also going to the post office on a field trip. Please check back tomorrow to hear more details about our community helpers and our trip.
