Letter Uu and Community Helpers

This week we reviewed the letter Uu.  We identified words that had the vowel in the middle.  

This week Jackie came from the extension office to bring in our chick eggs so we could get started on our embryology activity.  She taught us about the different parts of the egg and how the baby chick uses them as they develop.  

One of our sight words this week was: under.  We colored a picture UNDER the table. 

In Social Studied we had our Community helpers unit.  We talked about the different types of community helpers there were (boy there are a lot!) and why they are so helpful to us. 

We focused on: farmers, police officers, doctors and teachers. 

We learned that without farmers we would have no food or even ice cream!  

We listed what would happen if we didn't have certain community helpers.  The Kinders came to conclusion that we may not be here if we didn't have them and/or life would be hard/bad as well. 

Thank you to all the community helpers out there and for all the hard work you do for us! 

Here we are making our police officer car craft.

Community Helpers and Fire Saftey week!

I decided to combine our last few weeks into one post.  The preschoolers have been on a roll and super busy so far this year.  We did our unit about community helpers before fire safety week.  During our community helpers, we focused on certain community helpers such as: police men, trash men, doctors/nurses, teachers and mail carriers. 

We started off the week by learning about doctors.  They got to play dress up, by putting on doctor masks, gloves and then they got to bandage up their partner. 

 

Yes, even I had to get bandaged up!

 

The color of the week was yellow.

 

 

Our letter of the week was letter Bb.  This craft fit perfectly with our letter!  We had to make BooBoo's onto our Brown Bears.  We then had to bandage them up with Band aides!  They drew on red booboos.  They then got to be doctors and bandage them up with some band aids!

The week after learning  about our community helpers, we did our fire safety week.  We focused more on learning about our fire fighters, how to stay safe during a fire and how to prevent them from happening.  We learned to stop, drop and roll and practiced it every day at preschool.  We also learned what we should and not play with or touch. 

 

The letter of the week was the letter Ff.  The color was yellow.  We made Fiery F's.  We added red and yellow paint to our Ff's and spread the paint around with a cotton ball to make them look like flames. 

 

 

We made a helping hands poster of our community helper who works in our school, Mrs. Donna Davey, who is an EMT for our town.  We also made a helping hands poster for our firemen  and EMTs in our town.
