Our unit this week was Community Helpers!
We talked all about different people who are our Community Helpers. Our Bible Story this week was the Burning Bush.
We had a great time reading so many Community Helper Books in our Library Center. We listened to Sparky (a firefighting book) in our Listening Center too.
We played with different Community Helper Vehicles and sand in our Sensory Table.
We played with Rescue Heroes!

We also worked with many fun tools!

On Tuesday and Wednesday we focused on Fire Fighters! Here we drew fire on a house. We then talked about how Fire Fighters put out fires. (sorry...I don't have any pictures of the blue crayon "water" done over all the red "fire")
We had a great time using this poem to play a game. The children would pretend they were sleeping Fire Fighters, at the end of the poem we would make a loud "bell" noise and the children would run around the classroom looking for the small "fire" we had hidden. They would then use their imaginary water hoses to put out the fire.
In ART this week we made a Doctor Bag collage using all real things that could be found in their Doctor's office. (so sorry.... forgot to take a picture of this project)
We also did a group painting project. We worked as a team to paint "fire", then we cut the paper to resemble flames.


Our WONDERFUL director Ms. Heather asked us to come and visit with her for a little bit. She talked to us about Fire Safety. She also let us watch a very short ELMO video about Fire Safety. She then gave each of us a Fire Truck whistle and a Fire Hat!
Of course the highlight of our week was getting to check out the Fire Truck and meeting the Fire Fighters.




The weather has been gorgeous lately, so we have been taking advantage of it! We stayed a little longer outside to just play and enjoy our AWESOME playground! 

We also celebrated Mollie and Brennan's Birthday this week!

Love,
Cassie and Jen
