Fire Safety

We had fun learning about fire safety this week. The children colored and cut out Fire Safety Sam and then wrote fire safety rules for Sam to hold. They made TLC firemen and firetrucks. All of this made a great display in the hallway. We sang "I'm A Firefighter" and added the song/poem to our poetry books. Every week we add a poem or song to the books. We read them and highlight letters, letter chunks, punctuation and words. We read many nonfiction books about fire safety and watched "Play Safe, Be Safe" with Fireman Dan. We used toilet paper tubes to make firefighter puppets.

The children finished their body parts scarecrows by adding movable arms and legs after talking about our muscles and how they help us move.
In math, we worked on positional words - above, below, between, beside, near, far. The children began reading patterns and copying them.

Next week we will begin our Fall theme which we will work on over the next few weeks.
