Doctors, Dentists and Police

Sadly, I must apologize for the lack of pictures this week. We did so many fun things and I completely forgot to take pictures of most of it.

We talked about the letter k this week and had lots of fun pulling out the paint to do something a little bit different!


On Monday we learned about doctors and had a special visitor come talk to us about some of the things doctors do. He brought his stethoscope, blood pressure cuff and a book about the body. Surprisingly, the kids were most interested in learning about bones.  

Wednesday was all about dentists. The kids were shocked and amazed to find out that teeth are actually bones. We used a mouth, some teeth and some dice to practice counting. The kids rolled their die, then put that number of teeth in the mouth. We also learned about the different parts of the tooth.


On Friday we learned about Police Officers and had another special visitor. He brought along some of the tools he uses on his job like a taser, handcuffs, and bullet proof vest. The kids loved seeing all of his tools, especially the car.

Our tool belt is filled with all the jobs and tools we learned about in the past month. I think this has been the favorite unit so far. The kids have loved learning about different jobs and sharing their experiences with people who do them!


I also have to share the new purchase made for the preschool this week, a rug! It helps us learn about the alphabet and learn to stay in our own space.
