week of September 7 | snapshot

We continued our community helper study last week.
On Tuesday, we talked about what community helper helps us stay safe, police officers. 
This is what we know:

On Wednesday, we talked about bakers.

And then it wouldn't be any fun without looking like a baker!










On Thursday, we talked about mail carriers and why their jobs are very important.
 Ainsley's mom works at the post office. :)

we watched a Post Office field trip!


Friday was the 14th anniversary of 9/11. We revisited our discussion on communities. I talked to the students about 9/11 as a time in our country when communities had to come together and help each other. We thought of times we or a member of our families got help from our community. And how we said thank you.

We watched September 11: Explanation and Heroes. We talked about what we saw, what we felt, and the community helpers we saw along the way. 

Then we sat in a “Thank You Circle.” and we retold an experience when we were helped and how we said thank you (or how we gave help and someone else thanked us).



We had lots of fun playing Community Helper Bingo all week, too!






We worked on making AB patterns all week in math.









limited centers this week:

blocks- build a police station, bakery, a post office, or a community




discovery- crime solver kit


we made badges to go in the dramatic play center


dramatic play- bakery, police station, or post office




writing- cut pictures out of magazines to make menus for the bakery




I had a wonderful, early birthday celebration Friday with all my favorite people.
They make my life brighter.
