Did you know when to dial 911? We learned that we dial 911 when there is an emergency. We discussed what is and what is not an emergency.(i.e. being upset because you lost a sticker is not an emergency; seeing a house on fire is and emergency). We also learned that the sprinklers in our class will spray water in case of a fire and that there is a fire extinguisher is located in our hallway next to the door. The children are excited to discover the ways we are keeping safe at school.

The children learned a new move called the “step over” and learned that when we work together it is called team work in Soccer Shots today.

Welcome back, we hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. This week we will be learning about fire safety. We read the book A Day At The Fire Station by Megan Faulkner and learned that fire fighters sometimes sleep, eat, work, and exercise at the firehouse.

The children worked on their fine motor skills working on perforation squares. We are using the perforations to decorate our bulletin board.

The children made a pile of leaves that they jumped into and then threw in the air. We all enjoyed the cooler weather during our playtimes!

Did you know a map shows us where we are going? We continued to learn about the compass and worked on our very own map. The children worked on a map of playground equipment, the children cut and colored playground equipment and glued them in North, South, East and West directions.

The children are excited about the game tonight. They talked about watching it on TV and some wore Astros colors and t-shirts.

The children had a great time yesterday in Arts Alive! They rode a train to the Arts Alive Pumpkin Patch where they had fun bowling with pumpkins, making pumpkin snowmen , and making jack-o-lantern faces.

We continued to learn about cardinal directions today. Did you know that our bodies can become a compass? We learned that our head points North, our feet point South, our right arm point West and our left arm points East.

The children had fun hanging bats and spiders on a clothes line with our clothes pin lesson in the practical life area.

We had fun in Jumpbunch balancing. The children balanced forward and sideways on balancing logs.
