Shellydon Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I am scheduling guest speakers for my K-2 co-op class. Can anyone give me ideas for speakers? So far I have a fire truck, ambulance, mobile dairy farm and a farrier. More ideas would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrulySusan Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Dds Browine troop had a policeman with his dog from the K9 unit. He and the dog were really interesting. Did anyone say veterinarian? That would appeal to kids too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 airline employee athlete - even an older HS/college student - or coach soldier/recruiter grandparent an old-timer from the area - they have the best stories! a crafter - perhaps from local store? representative from local garden club (or store) art teacher or local artist (or artistic parent) newspaper or local television reporter metereologist My boys did cub scouts and local business owners were always great about coming in (usually with goodies). Probably the (surprisingly to me) biggest hit was the Home Depot guy. He showed tools and brought little orange aprons for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momof3littles Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Professional storyteller Local Historian if they can give a talk at that level Postal employee? Puppeteer? Can you ask a local library, historical society, etc. for kid-friendly ideas? I know we have a lot of local historical societies that put on events where kids can do things like tin punching, quill writing, etc. Maybe someone who could do a bit of history on things relevant to children's lives, and then tie it into a little activity they could do?
