Safety First!

Our shorten week was packed with learning about policemen and what they do for our community. On Tuesday we learned about staying safe by wearing seat belts, not talking to strangers, and playing in safe areas. We also talked about traffic lights and played a game of red light, green light. On Thursday we were lucky to have a police officer come and visit the Kindergarten! He talked about what a police officer does, what's on his belt, and even showed us his car!

We also made a snack made out of graham crackers, peanut butter, and M&M. Super yummy, and cute!

In phonics we are continuing to learn new letter sounds. This week we talked about the letters "s" and "n". This week we are also started learning sight words. Sight words are words that can't be sounded out, so we learn to recognize them. This weeks words are "here" and "is". Any practice at home with these words would be great!

In math we are learning all about recognizing numbers, patterns, shapes, and the penny! On Thursday we went outside to practice writing the number two on the sidewalk. 

We're starting to read books in reading. It's really neat to see the kids get excited about reading the stories. I will send the books home once they read them, so keep a look out!

In handwriting we are working on writing the vowels. So far "e" has been a tricky one, but we're getting it!

In social studies we are talking about our community and the workers in it. Firefighters and police men have been this week. 

In Bible time we started at the beginning of the Bible and started to go through stories. This week we talked about Cain and Abel, Enoch, and Methuselah. They were amazed by how old he was! 

This has been a super fun week, and I can't wait to start next week where we will be learning about mailmen!
