Week 7: Fire Fighters, Tt, Gray, Oval, 6

This week our theme was Firefighters and Fire Safety. We went on a Fire Safety Scavenger Hunt. This was really fun and we walked all over the YMCA looking for alarms, sprinklers, and fire extinguishers. All the kids did a great job graphing how many we saw of each. I was really impressed. 

We also learned that firefighters use water to put out fires. We had a little relay race and ran cups of water to put out our “fire.” Despite the cooler weather the class had a lot of fun doing this outside. 

We talked about things that are safe to touch and things that are hot, or burning like a candle and are not safe to touch. We made little “Safe to Touch” books. The kids did so well cutting these out and marking out things we should not touch.

Finally, we learned about 9-1-1. We dotted a paper phone and practiced calling 9-1-1. We learned that is how we can call a firefighter, policeman, and an ambulance if there is a Big problem and we need help.

This week we learned the letter Tt and its sound. We put tape all over our letter T’s. 

We also colored our shape of the week, oval, with our color of the week, gray, and cut them out. Everyone is improving with their scissor skills.
