Another busy week at Funtime. We continued our community helpers unit and learned about different people & things who help our community.
Here are some pictures from last week and our visit from Leah Neff, dental assistant at Peak Family Dental.
On Monday we talked about safety and transportation. We made a stoplight for craft and talked about what each color meant. We also talked about crossing the street and how sometimes there is a person called a crossing guard. I was really impressed that the kids new what each color on the stop light meant, remind me to never drive with them in my car.... I don't always slow down for the yellow... ;-)
The pre-K class worked on number recognition and handwriting by writing the number 1 and the number 7.
Wednesday, the 9 am class had a visit from a very special guest! Luke's dad came and told us all about his job working for Fedex. We learned a lot about what he does and the package delivery business. His truck was big enough that we were all able to get into it and each of us got a turn to sit in the drivers seat and honk the horn. Ask your child: "what is the strangest thing Mr. Dan has ever delivered?" Answer: a piece of a whale jaw! "what did Fedex do to help with the oil spill?" Answer: re-locate hundreds of baby sea turtles. Also, ask about his special watch. He wears a special watch that unlocks the doors to his truck - the kids were pretty amazed by this. Thank you Mr. Dan for coming to our class and teaching us about your job!
For craft, all the classes (except pre-k, we ran out of time) made a mail carrier's bag. The kids had fun putting the envelope inside and pretending to deliver the mail. The pre-k class practiced writing upper case and lower case Aa. They are all getting so good at writing their names, holding their pencils correctly and forming their letters. I am super proud of them!
Here are some pictures of Mr. Dan and the kids.
Friday - gym day! This is the last week of Recreational basket ball, so next week, we should be able to do something more elaborate in the gym. But for now, the bleachers are out and in the afternoon, the guys from the sports dept. come and set out the chairs and score keeper, so we can't have any big equipment out. Today, we put all different sizes of balls out and the kids had a blast running, rolling and kicking. The pre-k kids practiced the letter Dd today.
Look at all the fun we've been having playing Dr.'s and Nurses and Vets!
