Community Helpers

We talked about various kinds of people that help us in our community this week...police officers, firemen, doctors, mail carriers, etc.  We had the chance to learn about them, read about them, meet some of them, and even dress up like some of them.  So much fun!  Hope you enjoy the pics from our fun-filled week about Community Helpers!


Harlee told us all about her adventures with Gumby this week...playing outside, playing with a remote control truck, and even playing with her pet pig! :o


Working so hard on tracing our names and learning our individualized skills on our learning rings.

Using our shape of the week (rectangle) and color of the week (blue), we made mail trucks with our pics inside.  Look for these hanging in the hall.  So cute!

Class play...these are our friends who decided to pretend they're The Ghostbusters for our classroom.  They used goggles, magna tiles, and magnifying glasses to help them look for ghosts and zombies all around the room.  They crack me up!

 

We did some free reading time with buddies on the carpet and took some time to look at books at the end of the day.



We dressed up like different types of community helpers and talked about the jobs that each one does in our community.  They are just soooo cute!





We had a special visitor from Sergeant Russ Wyatt from the Floyd County Sheriff's Department.  He came to talk to us about how police officers are our friends and do their best to keep our community safe.

He even let us look inside his police car, see the lights flash on top of the car, and (very briefly) hear his siren.  So cool!

Enjoying some play time outside in the sunshine.

Miss Beth sang some songs to us while we rode the school bus.  Thank you so much!

This is the exhaustion after running all around and chasing each other. :)



It's time for some fun with science!  We got to see a chemical reaction this week by mixing baking soda and vinegar together in order to see and hear fizzing red hearts.  Each kiddo got a chance to use the droppers to squeeze vinegar (dyed red) on hearts made out of glue and baking soda.  This was great fine motor for those little hands, and a cool way to see and learn about science!






Have a great week!  See you next Thursday!
