Community Helpers Day

There was an entire month devoted to  "Community Helpers" in Tyler's Kindergarten class where they had different people come in and talk about their jobs. One of the presentations was one of the Kindergarten teachers husband, who I believe worked in a medical lab. All the Kindergartners came out of school wearing blue latex gloves and white lab coats that he gave them, it was a pretty funny sight. Anyhow, the end of the learning unit was celebrated with a Community Helpers day for the parents to come in to class and see a presentation from the kids. They recorded themselves reading a writing assignment they completed about what they wanted to be when they grow up. Tyler was trying to explain to his teacher that he wanted to be an engineer like his daddy, but all he could think of was the name of where Jack works, Raytheon. His teacher had no idea what he was talking about so the two of them settled on him writing about how he wanted to be a dad when he grew up. He was frustrated she didn't know what he meant, but was okay with the writing about being a dad. It was pretty cute. So, on the special presentation day he dressed exactly like Jack in a polo and khakis, he was definitely a mini-Jack. He wrote that he wanted to be a dad because he liked to play with and help kids.
