Community Helpers

This week we are learning all about the letter C and Community helpers. 

Monday we watched a video about the different types of community helpers from doctors and teachers to firefighters and priest. Anyone who helps us or keeps us safe is a helper. After learning about the different jobs helpers have we graphed what kind of helper we would like to be when we grow up. We had your everyday  answers like doctor, architect, and firefighter, but I junk my favorites were a bubble maker and an ice cream maker. I could definitely make a career hangs for one of hose especially am ice cream maker. I could live off if mint chocolate chip and be happy for the rest of my life (thankfully it is gluten free so my dream shall not be broken!)

Tuesday we watched a video about the gear firefighters wear and we learned how to Stop, Drop, and Roll. After we rolled around like wild monkeys we created our own firefighters with hoses to put out any fires. 

Tuesday we read Officer Buckle and Gloria. We learned about why it is important to follow rules to stay safe. 

Thursday we jumped of if the Community Helper track and jumped in the "Hey it finally feel like fall track" and created super cute scarecrows following a glyph. 

Friday we capped off our week by turning a lowercase letter c into a road full of cars. 

For jobs this week we worked on many different skills. 

We of course had our obligatory letter craft which was a C cat

We matched the lowercase clip to the uppercase letter on the fire truck card

We matched the badge with the flame with the matching number if dots

We placed the correct number of pom poms in each numbered fire station

And we finished police car patterns by finding the matching car and coloring the pattern in the matching row

We had so much fun learning about these special people who help take care if us and we are looking forward to learning all about transportation next week.
