2024 Week 6 Fire Safety and Squirrels!

 Fire Safety week was a blast! Please review often what to do in case of a fire at your home,  including an escape plan and meeting spot. 

Kids should know their address as well.  

We made these super duper fire trucks to decorate our fire safety station.  

Cute!

We also opened a Squirrel Station for Thursday and Friday's squirrel Theme. 

Thank you for all the lovely fall decorations and items for our Fall discovery table.  We are exploring these items daily!

Choice time is a nice time!

On Tuesday we listened to the funny book Rhyming Dust Bunnies then created our own rhyming dust bunny!

On Wednesday we recreated the classic Skittles experiment,  partly due to Elliot's generous donation of Skittles! Thank you!

We worked with a partner to set up the experiment! What beautiful fun!

We have 4, yes FOUR, more 100 counters!!!!

Congratulations,  Kiddos!

This week we focused on our sight word *like*
