Firefighters and Dentists

Thank you parents for bringing your kids to the fire station on Wednesday! It was so much fun to see everything (especially the truck :) ) and to learn a little bit about fire safety.


After we got back from class we learned about the letter k and talked more about fire safety. We talked about 'stop, drop and roll' and did a fire drill so that the kids will know what to do if there is ever a fire here at school. If you have not done a fire drill recently at home, please take this time to do one and make sure you have a family meeting place outside the house!

Friday was all about dentists! During centers we spent some time doing a few dentists themed activities that reviewed the alphabet and helped us practice our handwriting.



We also learned about how to take care of our teeth by brushing and flossing!



Of course, we also had some fun painting teeth,


and making our own mouths! These mouths were such a great activity. The kids got to practice their fine motor skills by breaking the styrofoam into pieces and gluing them on. After that was done we talked about estimation and the kids got to estimate how many teeth were on their mouth. Then they counted to see how close their estimate was!
