Learning about our surrounding community is very important to us. After creating our own maps we decided to venture out to see what our own Chinatown Community had to offer. Our first stop was the local Police Station, where we learned about all the work Police Officers do and how they keep us safe. We got to go inside of a real jail cell and we also got to sit inside of a police car. Our second stop was the Chinatown Fire Station. Here we learned about how fire fighters work to keep people in our community safe and out of harms way. Each of us got a chance to sit in the fire truck and we even got to wear the fire fighters protective gear, which was really heavy. As the fire bell rang we watched as the fire fighters came down the golden pole and quickly jumped into the fire engine. It was very exciting to see!! Next it was time to go check out the fortune cookie factory and how they made those special treats. Seeing the large machine hard at work was very interesting. Tasting the fortune cookies was the best part.There were so many different colors and flavors to choose from. Our last stop was the Chinatown Hospital. Here we took a tour of the different parts of the hospital including the x-ray room, where they keep the blood samples, and where the patients lay when they are staying in the hospital. We ended our visit to the hospital by singing them our 5 Little Pumpkins Poem. Finally we were off to the local Willy "Wu Wu" Wong playground for lunch and some play time. Overall it was a very busy and exciting day.
