Our FAB’s for the upcoming week are:
Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.
Social Studies: K.2.3 Give examples of classroom and school rules and explain how each helps us.
In large group, we read two stories that focused of a specific community helper: firefighter! We learned that firefighters live at the fire station when they’re working. Several items that firefighters wear were also layed out in the story. There isn’t just one type of firetruck; there are several, including the pumper truck! The following questions was presented:
“If we didn’t have firefighters to help us, what would happen?”
-“Stuff would burn and people may die!”
We talked about how important firefighters are to our community and how dangerous their job can be.
Children were invited to the art table this morning to paint with a vegetable that we picked from our garden; an overgrown zucchini! Miss Melinda cut the zucchini into circles and friends picked the color of paint they wanted to paint with!
We came up with a list of other materials we can paint with besides paint brushes. Friends shouted out ‘sponge’ and ‘hands’ to name a few.
Maddie focused on pattern blocks this morning. She picked several pattern cards and completed the pattern using colored blocks. These pattern blocks are quite tricky as the blocks have to be put in a certain way! Maddie shouted, “I did it! I think I’ll do another one!”
Breakfast– Whole wheat toast with butter and PPC grapes.
Lunch– Whole wheat noodles with kidney beans, PPC pears/blackberries, and fresh carrots/snap peas.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with banana/blackberries.
Wee Sprout– Fresh carrots.
Have a great night!
