I apologize for my lack of posts lately! I could come up with a million excuses, but I will just do my best to get caught up so that you can see the cute pictures of your kids. We are doing great in school! I have super easy-going, cooperative kids this year. Thank you for all of the work you do at home to coincide with what we are doing at school!
We were lucky to have a special visit from a friend this month. Firefighter Tom came to our school to inform us with some fire safety tips and show us all of his gear. We prepared for his visit by learning some fire safety tips, and even did our own fire drill. I'm sure you heard about us climbing out the window.
This math center helped us with our number to number correspondence up to number 10. Each fire dog had a number on its fire hat, and we added that many spots (chocolate chips) to his coat.
Another math center that we had fun with were some red firetruck printouts. Each firetruck had a number on it, and we filled the truck with that many firefighters.
We talked about what emergency vehicles look like, and what sounds they make. We learned why we move over when we hear their sirens, and we built up our own vehicles with these block puzzles.
We talked about the letter H this week. Fires are hot! And, we put them out by punching holes in our letter H's.
And, we had to dress the part, of course!
We even took a short walk to find the nearest fire hydrant on the street. We know not to park in front of one, and what the firefighters use them for when needed.
And, Tom came to visit too! He taught us to stay low, and go! Once we get out, we stay out! And, to not hide, go outside!
He showed us all of his gear, how it worked, and all of the sounds it makes. Now we won't be scared if we ever need help from a fireman.
