T-Th Preschool News - Week of October 18

Clothe yourself with kindness. Col 3:12

Dear Tuesday-Thursday Preschool Families,

What an exciting week we had at preschool! The highlight of the week was probably the visit from Firefighter Jeff and his friends on Tuesday. We all got to see what a firefighter looks like wearing all of his protective fire fighter gear, and we even had a chance to sit inside a real fire truck!


Pictures will be coming your way via Shutterfly real soon! We learned how important it is to "Stop, Drop and Roll" if our clothes ever catch on fire, and we were told to have our moms and dad check the smoke alarms in our homes to be sure they are working. This would also be a good time to decide on an outside meeting place for your family in the event that you ever did have to get out of your house quick!

Here are some of the other things we did this week at preschool...

Introduced the new letter of the week...Letter C!
Drew pictures for our firefighter friends for a "thank you" book
Painted with red and yellow paint on flame shaped paper
Practiced using scissors a little more
Played a number game we call "Bears in Squares" (it helps us with our number recognition and counting skills)

Learned a "Stop, Drop and Roll" song (sung to Skip to My Lou)

If your clothes catch on fire, what do you do?
If your clothes catch on fire, what do you do?
If your clothes cathc on fire, what do you do?
I will stop and drop and roll!

(and of course, we practiced stop, drop and roll, too!)
So check your smoke alarms everyone, and stay safe! See you next week!
