February 9, 2012 - Community Helpers
Just Matthew, Ethan and Lucy today... we missed London and Mason.
As I started the lesson all these little cuties were so eager to answer the questions!
We talked about more things that start with "T" and then started talking about Teachers, which somehow led to all the community helpers.
Then I pulled out the costumes...because I can never resist dress up! Nobody fought over what they wanted to be. Matthew quickly chose fireman. Lucy wanted to be the Doctor and Ethan was a super cute little Chef.
I told the kids they would all get to try out being different community helpers...starting with a Chef! We broke out the aprons and got to work making biscuits.
Which they loved...despite the look on Matthew's face!
And then we practiced being "Tidy" once again, to go along with the letter "T" for the week.
Look at those helpers go! They can come tidy my house any day!
While our biscuits cooked, we played doctor.
Ethan has a hurt arm and is being such a good actor!
Then we enjoyed our biscuits, with a side of grapes. I don't know whether kids enjoyed cooking them or eating them more!
Last, but not least we got to practice being Firemen. Since it was a super hot day, I wanted to do something with water... so I made a little paper fire and taped it to a child. Then dressed another child as a Fireman. The remaining child was the person who needed saving. The Fireman had to go up the ladder with the squirt bottle, douse the "fire" and rescue the other person by taking them down the slide.
The kids loved it! What a fun day!
