- The carnival date has been set at Feb 10, 2012 - this will be held at the New Prague Middle School - it is a fun family event - more details will follow!!!
School Activities this week:
- The stars this week were: Brandon and Catie!
- We started working on the letters of the alphabet - Mortimer the Moose introduced the Letter A - he had an apple in his mouth - apple starts with the letter A!!
- Dora's clues were: firetruck. ladder, water bucket...... Dora loves hearing about the fire station!
- We've got mail: There was a blue cob of corn and some blue corn chips (we learned that the blue chips came from the blue corn), and there was a white cob of corn and white corn chips (and we learned the white chips came from the light colored corn)! We had a taste test to see which type of corn chips we liked the best - blue or white? Ask your child which they liked - the blue or the white?
- We had a visit from the New Prague Firefighters! They brought us each a book about fire safety. We got to see and feel a real firefighters uniform. Do firefighters wear alot of heavy equipment at a fire?
- We learned to STOP, DROP, and ROLL if our clothes catch on fire, and we also learned if there is smoke in a room you should crawl on your hands a knees so you can breathe and see more easily.
- We had a fire drill - the teachers blow a whistle and when the children hear the whistle they know they have to get outside! We don't stop for our coats or our school bags, we just get outside and to to the meeting spot outside and wait for the teachers to come.
- Please take some time to discuss important safety measures that apply at home! Knowledge of fire safety procedures could save your child's life!
- Books this week: "Firetruck", and "I Want to Be a Firefighter"
- Projects: Bouncy cutting art project - we worked on our fine motor skills with this project - ask your child to show you how it works! We also made our firefighter hats which the children enjoyed wearing!
- This week we dismissed for snack by: 1) Separating small, medium, and large firetrucks, and 2) matching the fire equipment
- Music: We sang:" Hurry Hurry Drive the Firetruck" - ask your child to sing it for you! We had some fun actions too! The words were: Hurry, hurry, drive the firetruck; hurry, hurry drive the firetruck; Hurry, hurry, drive the firetruck; ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Repeat this with: "turn the corner", "find the fire", "climb the ladder", and "squirt the water"!
