Fire Prevention Week

We sure did use our IMAGINATIONS a lot in preschool this week! Since it was Fire Prevention Week, we discussed what to do in case of a fire. We imagined that our clothes were on fire and practiced stop/drop and roll. We imagined being in a smokey room and practiced crawling and staying low where the air is clean. Before we made our way out of the smokey room we made sure to touch the door knob to feel if it is hot or not. We wouldn't want to open the door if the knob was hot! We talked about fire fighters and their job in our community. We even practiced calling 911 on our telephone, in case of emergencies. We had a lot of fun with the puppets we made! Some of us even put on a puppet show. In preschool, we love puppet shows and they allow us to use our imaginations and get our creative juices running!

Our letter of the week was F. Being that all the leaves around us are changing colors and falling off the trees, we thought that talking about Fall weather and seasons would be neat. Making leaf rubs with crayons, in Fall colors, was magical! Fall weather and Fall colors?! I think I hear that F again! We enjoyed rolling dough into the letter F and using short and long sticks to create the letter F. We had so much fun dancing and pretending that we were trees with leaves, branches, trunks and roots to keep us in the ground!

In your child's folder you will find a form that will let me know if you are interested in becoming a classroom Mom. Our classroom Mom will be responsible for organizing, with other parents, our holiday parties, according to our school food guidelines, which can be found on our website. We will be holding a small Halloween party on October 31st. I will send out more information as the time gets near. Also, in lieu of Breast Cancer Awareness, the K-Kids are sponsoring a fundraiser on October 28th. If you donate a dollar, you can wear your favorite hat all day, for Hat Day!

I hope that everyone enjoys their weekend!
