Occupations

We've done so much in the past week that I don't even know where to start! The kids are having so much fun learning about occupations.

Our bulletin board for the month is a tool belt that holds tools for each occupation we will be learning about. Each day the kids get to take an envelope out, look at the tools and guess what occupation we will be talking about that day.

On Monday we talked about construction workers. The kids had lots to tell me about that job from all the construction they've seen in our neighborhood! We learned about all the different tools and tractors they use to get their jobs done. We then got to build and paint our own houses.

On Wednesday we learned about pilots. We had a special guest (my dad) come talk to the kids about being a pilot. He brought a bag full of his tools to show the kids, which they loved! We learned about how a plane flies, how the pilot gets where he needs to go and how he keeps his passengers safe. We love guests and are looking forward from hearing from a few more throughout the month. If any other parents want to come talk to us about their occupation (or one they know a lot about) we still have a few times open!

Today we talked about mail carriers. We learned the parts of the letters and wrote some letters of our own. 

And of course, we have spent lots of time learning about the alphabet, numbers and shapes. One activity we did this week was putting the alphabet back in order. The kids did so well! Most of them were about to get to the letter I, which is as far as we've learned and some were able to do a little more!
