Our class has been given the unique opportunity to collaborate with the Iowa City Police Department - Broadway Substation to decorate their walls with the handprints of community children. On Tuesday, October 25th we will be traveling to the Broadway Substation (located near the USPS) to work with our fellow police to brighten the walls of their station. We will leave Willowwind around 1:00 and return by the end of the school day. Please click HERE if you are interested in driving for this field trip. Your support in these field trips are incredibly important. A BIG thank you to all the parents that have already helped out. Without you, we wouldn't be able to spend so much time learning within our own community. As a reminder, prior to your first field trip, please leave a copy of your license & proof of insurance with Rachel B. at the Front Desk.
Don't forget! Booster seats are needed for the October 25th police station field trip.
In addition to the Broadway Substation field trip, below details other field trips that have been scheduled for the rest of October and November. We will travel to the following field trips by walking or via city bus so no drivers or booster seats (or bus fare) are needed. I will keep you updated if additional field trip opportunities arise.
1) Fall Walk to Friendship Park
Tuesday, October 18th 12:45 - 3:00
The weather is suppose to be beautiful on Tuesday, so we are going to take advantage of the upswing in temperature. On October 18th, we will take our second walk to Friendship Park to explore the season of Fall and the changes occurring. We will use our five senses to compare or Summer and Fall walks. Please be sure your child wears comfy walking shoes.
2) Iowa City Public Library
Wednesday, October 26th 9:30 - 11:45
Wednesday, November 30th 9:30 - 11:45
The Kindergarten class will travel to the library the last Wednesday of the month (subject to change) to check out library books and participate in their story time. Please be sure your child brings their library card.
3) Iowa City Police Department
Wednesday, November 2nd 9:30 - 11:45
In partnership with our visit to the fire department AND our visit to the Broadway substation, Kindergarteners will be meeting Office Hayes (our Broadway Substation contact) at the downtown station to learn more about police officers as community helpers and how they keep us and our community safe.
