As usual we had a wonderful week...along with a few special visitors. The kiddos really got to learn how our jobs help unite a community. This week we covered the number 8 and worked on the letter Cc. Many kiddos want to say that the letter Cc makes an /S/ sound...so we spent some time on that!
Thursday:
 |
| We began our week with this sweet kiddo sharing his time with Gumby! Boy...did they do a lot of fun things! They ate snacks, watched movies, went on trips...and so much more! |
 |
| Next we read this sweet story. They gave us clues and the kiddos predicted what the jobs were. |
 |
| The kiddos then got to tell me what kind of job they would like to do in the community when they got older! |
 |
| When we were done we tallied them all up. This then made a great math lesson. What did most children pick...how many wanted to be a... and we even did a little bit of adding! |
 |
| Next we chatted about X-rays...who takes them and why we may need them. They made x-rays of their own! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/501940320940305116/ |

 |
| Our weekly game...A fun way to count! |
 |
 |
| When we grow up...we will help our community by... These will be added to their portfolios! |
 |
| Time to play and socialize! A great skill for all kiddos! |
 |
| Our local children's librarian visited us! |
 |
| She sang fun songs! |
 |
| This sweet face had a blast! |
 |
| After reading a story on how police officers are helpful community helpers we made police cars of our own! I am also adding these to their portfolios...just in case you are wondering where they may be! |

 |
| Did you know that stop lights act as community helpers! So we played "Red light, Green light" |
 |
| After a while...I stopped using words and they had to pay attention to the color I held up (red...yellow...or green) |
 |
 |
| "Without the help of the LORD, it is useless to build a home or to
guard a city." Psalm 127:1 (CEV) http://www.preschoolpost.com/files/WeeklyLessons/Lesson11.pdf |
 |
| During our independent station we practiced being veterinarians! |
 |
 |
| Did you think you would have a week that I did not show you a fine motor skill? Sorry...no such luck! This activity they worked on color words, we discussed a stop light, and the most important part...tearing paper! Tearing paper helps build the skills of these tiny fingers! The smaller they tear the stronger their fingers are! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/195273333813969034/ |
 |
| Our weekly letter Cc 4-box sheet! |
 |
| Today our special community helper was a lady and 2 dogs from the local animal shelter! She was amazing!! She focused on dog safety...and how to "greet" a dog that is not yours. |
 |
| The kiddos then got to practice their new skills. 1. Ask if you can touch the animal 2. Making a small fist allow the animal to smell you 3. gently pet them. |
Here are the books we read:
Next week our Theme will be Valentines...Oh how I love Valentine's Day! I can't wait to see what the week brings!!
