This week's theme was fire safety/community helpers. In language this week, we did fire writing, which we used our fingers to write in red paint in Ziploc bags, we traced hoses, we played with foam letters, and we used colored pencils to write on notebook paper. In math and science this week, we did puzzles, shape matched fire trucks and ambulances, and sorted different colored envelopes into the correct mailboxes. In motor development this week, we practiced stop, drop, and roll, played with waffle blocks, ripped up orange and yellow paper, practiced blowing out tissue paper candles, and stacked boxes. In art we, played dress up, made a fire collage out of the paper we ripped, and did stamps. We added community helper dolls to our block area and the children enjoyed playing with them very much!
