Today we talked about garbage men and mailmen being community helpers. Just as luck would have it today was our garbage day so we anxiously awaited the garbage man to pick up our trash. When he came, the kids were glued to the window until he was out of sight. We noticed when he drives he stands up and is not sitting down. I asked them why they thought he was wearing a bright yellow vest and where they think he takes the trash too. Megan apparently was the only one who's been to the dump because the other kids didn't seem to know what I was talking about. Or maybe they'd forgotten if they had ever been?
We also talked about using the phone for help and dialing 9-1-1. I gave them scenarios of situations and asked them if they should call 911 or not. They all seemed to understand what an emergency was so hopefully they won't unnecessarily call it one day...
Centers
We cut paper, used stickers and crayons and 'made' our own mail stuffing it into envelopes. We pretended to deliver it around the room.
Played with wooden blocks and made our own city complete with fire station, police station, library, etc. They used the matchbox cars on the 'roads' they made.
Outside
It was kind of a yucky day today so we had an indoor playground!
Snack
Pooh crackers, raisins and peanuts
