Community Helpers

I am behind on my posts but I am shooting for a few a week because it is hard to find time. This week is all about community helpers. We started off the morning with reading Help full Firefighters. We discussed what to do if our clothes are on fire: STOP, DROP, and ROLL. We each took turns acting it out and calling out the commands.  Then we practiced on our play phones dialing 911, which they all figure out. I try to stress that this is only used in case of an emergency, telling then situations. Look out with your phones (lol).
The picture is of our Bakers center where they mix in glitter and yummy "bread" in the dramatic play center ( this is a favorite!)
Dough recipe:
2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
1 1/2 cups of water
We had flour in a spice container to add as needed when playing

 We then went on to do our art activity. The kids traced their own hands and they did a great job. we then glued on 5 firemen hats and they each traced the letter F on the hat. While doing the art project we sang the

Five Little Firefighters

Five Little firefighters sleeping in their bed
The first one said, "Put your helmet on your head!"
The second one said, "Down the pole we'll slide."
The third one said, "Get ready to ride!"
The fourth one said, "Put your gas mask on your nose."
The fifth one said, "I'll grab the hose!"
Then Woooo went the siren and out went the fire
And the five little firemen could finally retire!
