Mr Rob -- Construction Expert

In case you haven't heard...

Fremont is building on!

We might be just a little excited around here because it means so much to our school family and it will make such a difference with our students in the years to come. 

You might remember an earlier post where we noticed the utility flags (pssst...click here to read it).   Well we have a parent in our classroom that knows a thing or two about utility flags and construction so I sneakily got him to come into our room and share his knowledge (okay, it wasn't very sneaky. I politely begged him to come and teach these kiddos more than what I could).   He graciously accepted and the kiddos seemed to soak up so much more from an Expert than just listening to me.   

Grant's dad, Mr Rob, taught them more about utility flags and their purposes. He discussed why it's important to call before you dig. He showed them pictures of underground pipes that had been accidentally busted.  They saw pictures of tools used to locate those buried pipes. We all left that session knowing more about utility lines and safety than I had imagined. They even got to take home a bookmark that Mr Rob made, showing the different flags.

We love having experts in our room and I'm happy that this expert is part of our classroom family! We definitely will have Mr Rob back again as we start to see other signs of construction happening on our school grounds.
