by Linda Hayward, for POLICE WEEK in the library.

We had fun putting on “our safety vests” and trying to direct traffic in the library:

We also thought about what mode of transportation we would like to use if we were police officers:


This part of the book always gets their attention, they all want to know why the boy is crying…

This is a great place to stop and ask if any of the children know their addresses. And that an ID tag could be a great idea…

Of course the bear that escaped from the zoo gets their attention too! 🙂


This is what was playing on the projector:
We were lucky enough to have a real police officer visit our school!



My after school classes made police vests and went on”patrol” to look for that bear that was missing from the zoo!


I would say we had a great week in the library for POLICE WEEK! #communityhelpermonth
