Fire Safety

In continuation with Chanukah, we went into fire safety this week. The children absolutely loved it! We started off with a lit match, explaining how fire is not something we play with. We sang a fun song that the children really enjoyed singing. We painted our very own fire truck to use in our dramatic play center. 

We had fire man costumes to go with it too. We practiced putting out "fires", and we learned all about stop, drop, and roll. We also learned the number we call when we see a fire. We even got to create our very own fire hat and mask. We used a lot of our fine motor skills to create these beautiful projects! 

 

Happy birthday to Micah and Josephine- thank you so much for the delicious pizza and cake!!

Chanukah

Our students were very busy this week learning all about the holiday of Chanukah!

     

Morah Chana told us all about the Chanukah story. 

We got to hear it from a gigantic book (bigger than us). 

We cooperatively painted our classroom Chanukah decorations. 

We worked on our own menorahs. 

We did many Chanukah lessons- from dreidel color sorting to candle sorting and putting the candles into the Menorah- great skill strengthening! 

                           

      

 

Wax coloring 

We had sensory fun with olives- learning that olives make olive oil (in correspondence to our Chanukah story about oil and the Menorah). Dramatic play was also in full swing with cooking latkes (potato pancakes), lighting menorahs, and playing dreidel!
