This week we started our study of construction. We talked about different words that all mean "build." The children used different building materials in the classroom to build something. The children used small colorful wooden blocks, bristle blocks, Duplos, Lego's, tinker toys, and unit blocks. The children then described what they built and we took a picture of their creations. We also built with Popsicle sticks. Throughout the month, we will be exploring the construction process and building many things in our classroom.
This week we also had a visit from Firefighter Josh. He talked to us about fire safety and showed us his gear. He talked about smoke detectors. Ask your child to help you find the smoke detectors in your house and when you find them, test them to make sure they are working. Then talk to your child about what to do if there is ever a fire in your house (get out)!
We will also have a visit from a police officer and nurse this week.
