I've been helping out in a Pre-K and Kingergarten class at a local school here that was started by an American family here. It's been such a great opportunity to get involved with Pre-K, see how they've run the school, learn from the teachers there, and get to interact and help with the students.
They invited me to come along on a field trip yesterday, which is really rare for kids to have here. I have to admit, I didn't understand what the teacher said when I asked where they were going, so I just nodded and pretended like I knew what she said...I wanted to go anyway as an outing with the kids. The funny part is, we went to Dunkin Donuts and then the fire station. You would think that I would have understood "Dunkin Donuts!" :) The kids started out at Dunkin Donuts and the manager there showed them how donuts are made and let each of them decorate their own donut. None of them had ever been to a Dunkin Donuts, so it was a big treat. They had a blast there!

| The kiddos...there are 3 classes in the school that went. I had a hard time getting their attention for the pic, if you couldn't tell :) |

| The manager went through all the ingredients and the kids got to help him make to the dough. |

| And then each kid got to come up and cut out a donut...I tried to get the little boy, Jojo's expression. He had a smile from ear to ear the whole time. It was so cute!! |

| Walking to the fire station. I had to get a pic of them walking together...they were so cute! |

| The kids got a whole presentation from the firemen about their job and what they did. |

| And then they all got to come up and try on some of the equipment |

| The firmen even turned on the firehose for them and let them all come up and hold it up. Poor little Latif in front looks like he's holding on for dear life haha |

| And then, their favorite part...riding on the fire truck! This is a pic of all the kids and staff and the school. It's a wonderful school and outreach to the community and I've loved being able to get involved there and learn from the staff there. |
