Circle Time

We read 'Officer Buckle and Gloria' and 'Going to the Firehouse' books. We talked about what to do if there's a fire in your house and how you crawl on your tummy to an exit. We practicing STOP, DROP & ROLL. Then (thanks to Lola's awesome daddy!) I passed out fire hats and sticker badges. They had a blast playing with them and pretending they were putting out fires. :)

Art

I have a lot of art projects lined up for this week and they seemed interested enough to tackle some today.

We made a fingerprint counting book.

Our letter of the week project (this we didn't get to do last week for D)

Practiced writing the number 5 and then followed the activity on the page - color the mail letters, cut out and paste by the mailman's bag.

Centers

Today we did some shadow matching with fireman objects, a fireman puzzle & some tracing lines from the cop to the robber. The kids enjoyed cooking food in the kitchen and took turns shopping, buying and being the cashier.

We also pulled out our sensory bin. They love to pretend they are witches cooking a stew. :)

Snack

Fish crackers & Animal crackers
