Fire Safety was our topic this week!
We practiced Stop, Drop, and Roll to be safe around fire.
And then we made reminders, using scissors and glue :)
“Hurry, Hurry, Drive the Fire Truck!” was our new song :)
We practiced scissor skills by snipping strips of paper and cutting along the dotted lines :)
Naming and matching shapes helped us complete a fire engine picture :)
Then, everyone used their shapes to form their own fire engines!
Painting “fire” was fun with shaving cream and paint mixed together ...
... and squirting water on flames by number was a blast!
Playing in the “fire station” :)
Reading all of our fire books :)
Playing cooperatively with all our fire toys!
Painting spots on Dalmatian fire dogs :)
They even made a “fire engine” to read in!
Play doh with pumpkin shapes :)
Our helpers this week ...
Lots of games were played...
Our big friends in first grade were helping us on the swings :)
Coming up ...
- Tuesday, October 23rd - visit from the Westmont Fire Company during school :)
- Friday, October 26th - Preschool Pumpkin Palooza during school :) We will be creating our very own “pumpkin patch” at school and doing all kinds of “pumpkin fun” games and activities all week, with mini-pumpkin “picking” and painting on Friday :)
- Wednesday, October 31st - Preschool is regular hours 12:30-3. Children may come to school in Halloween costumes. We will watch the big kids parade at 1:30ish, go back to our classroom for a party snack and game, and have our own mini-parade at about 2:40 on the sidewalk from the main front door to the outdoor classroom seating by the door we go in.
