On Monday we talked about who firefighters are. Who are they? Why do we need them? We need them in our community to protect us and help us when it comes to fires, car accidents, etc. We started our week off by working on following directions and coloring our fire fighter pictures by number with the correct color. I put the paper on the smartboard (scanned image) and the kiddos were able to follow along with that. We first "highlighted" the numbers and color words with the crayons. Then they were to start coloring on their own. Finding the number on the picture and coloring it the right color. Great listening 4K! Also this week in music they were still working hard on learning their songs for the Christmas program coming up in December! :) | |
| On Tuesday we talked about what number we can call when there is a fire or an emergency. That number is 911! We made up a little poem/song that will help us to remember when to call 911 and why. We talked about things like opening a juice box or not being able to put our coats on as things we should NOT call 911 for. But a car accident, a fire, etc. those are reasons to call 911. We also did our F is for Fox projects today! :) They turned out great! Today since we had a crazy Monday we did our Dojo rewards. Normally we will accumulate points Monday-Friday and get our rewards on that next Monday. Today we had a lot of friends cashing in their points to get special rewards such as a sticker, picking from the prize bucket, eating lunch with Mr. B or an older friend of their choice, tablet time and using Ms. Luce's chair of the day. Can't wait to see what they choose/earn this week! :) |
On Wednesday we had fall dinner that evening but during the day we worked on our formation of our letter F. We worked really hard on our Ff sheets and they were shown at their table spots during fall dinner. These kiddos are just blowing me away, they are following directions and working so hard! WOO! Also they had a blast in the morning during gym! They were one of the only classes that actually got to have gym outside before it started to downpour! | |
| On Thursday we worked in our notebooks, which a lot of our friends said is their favorite thing to do when working on our letters. Every week we do one letter. They have to write four of each (uppercase and lowercase in their notebooks) Then they have to draw a picture of something that starts with that letter below that. They did great! From week one to now, wow they are doing great! We worked on our thank you's to our firefighter friends.We each colored a picture for our local fire department here in Luxemburg. We took these pictures and put them into a book for them when they came to visit Friday. Today we all found out that our 4K friend Johnny Huff's mommy Mrs. Huff in 2nd grade is going to be having a baby! :) |
On Friday we finished up our thank you cards for our firefighters. Then we worked on a sheet where the students had to cut out four words that were pieces of a firefighter's clothing. They had to then place it on the correct spot. Then they had to color their picture! AWESOME JOB 4K! We finished up working on our F's and got to play a letter soup game on abcmouse.com. While we were waiting for our turns we were working on our alphabets and first/last names. Then we had a challenge time writing numbers on our white boards. | |
