Doctor visitDr.Casey told us all about her job and she even brought her tools to show us. She looked in our friends' ears, throat and listened to her heart beat. Letters and NumbersThis week we practiced the letter /e/ and the number 2. CardinalsToday we made some winter cardinals with our buddy class. I'll post the beautiful pictures next week.
This week I opened up some new centers; veterinarian, florist, dentist and mail center. On Wednesday we had a visit from a dentist. Ask your child how many baby teeth they have- 10 on the top and 10 on the bottom. Dentist visitRCMP visitWe were lucky enough to have an RCMP officer to come and visit us. He gave the children some homework- to learn their address in case of emergency. LettersThis week we practiced the /ck/ sound; both letter c and k. Other centersThis week we continued to learn about community helpers. We had a visit from a fire chief and a fire fighter. They brought some of their tools and their uniform. It was really cool! Ask your child about "Stay low and go" and "Stop drop and roll". She gave the children homework to check their smoke alarms and make an exit plan in case of a fire. The children 'doctored' me up; I had many broken bones which needle a cast and a sling, Lots of medicine and needles. I also had a vision test and needed glasses. They took very good care of me. MathThis week we worked on counting and making groups of numbers. Sometimes we used a ten frame. We practiced printing the number one. Letters and JournalsThe children practiced the sounds and letters we have learned by playing Roll a Sound. We read "The Peace Book" and wrote in our journals about what peace is to us.
The children have begun to learn about community helpers. This week we had a visit from our community officer, Cst.Gemma. She showed us all her tools and told us about her job. We also have a doctor's office, a grocery store, and a mechanic center in our room. LettersThis week we learned the letter p and n. More to do!In gym, we have been learning dance. It's very tricky sometimes. We also discussed Remembrance Day this week and made poppy field art using pastels.
