Dear Parents,
We began our week playing in the classroom. We played with our train set, worked puzzles, and colored with crayons. We also ran, climbed, and tricycled in the big room.
In the classroom we decorated two pine cones each to give as gifts. We also used our fine motor skills and focus while stringing beads. The children said they wanted to give their gifts to their mamas and daddies. One person said he wanted to keep his.
Our fire station trip was informative. One firefighter said the most important thing to remember is to get out of the building. He said then we should call 911. One friend asked, “Where will we find a phone?” Another firefighter went upstairs and came down the gold pole, always the most exciting part of the trip! After returning to school, we revisited our list of things we predicted we might see there. The class had predicted everything we saw, except they agreed, we did not see fire boosters. “Fire boosters are on rocket ships,” someone reminded us. Another friend had correctly stated, “We will not see fire there!”
On Friday we decorated bags for our holiday gifts using crayons and markers. During circle we read The Invisible String and took turns sharing who was on the receiving end of our strings. We sang Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, and shook our sillies out.
The classroom and big room were warm on Thursday and Friday.
Have a warm weekend,
Therese
