Welcome back!
This week in K/PREK1, we’re diving into community helpers and how they are of importance to us. Today, we filled in three community helper squares and talked about what they do as well as any tools they may use to do their job.
Penny had shared, “I want to fight fires!”. This lead into a conversation about how each community helper has to get trained in their specific job and the skills it requires so that they stay safe and keep other people safe.
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.
In PREK2, they read a few clues and had to come up with a specific community helper!
Children easily got back into their routine here at Wee Friends, anxious to see their friends and explore a few new items that they identified in the classroom.
The welcome activity allowed children to create faces using a variety of materials! One friend even found a way to display his glasses using the materials that were available.
Friends came in and immediately realized that there were new blocks in habitrail.
Miss Tami got us ‘Notch Blocks’, wooden blocks that hook together. Our imaginations were flowing as different groups of kids played with them throughout the entire morning. They are more stable as opposed to our other wooden blocks since they hook together, giving children a stable structure and endless opportunities!
We bundled up and went outside to feel the warm sun on our faces. Fresh air was just what we needed to end our morning!
Breakfast– Whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and banana.
Lunch– Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce, string cheese, fresh apples, and fresh celery/cucumbers.
PM snack– Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.
Wee Sprout– Fresh celery/cucumbers.
Have a lovely night!
