What a busy and exciting week it was for our class. We started off the week by having the local police department come with their vans for the children to go on to sit in, press buttons, and meet police officers. All of this was part of our community helpers theme. We taught the children that police officers are our friends and that they help protect people and keep us safe. The officers were very friendly and it was a great experience for them. Nursery friends learned about safety this week. We read the book Let's Stay Safe. The children and I spoke about all the different ways to stay safe. From wearing helmets when riding a bicycle, to stayng close to an adult while out and not talking to strangers, to police officers being our friends, and to stop drop and roll if your clthes catch fire. Our 911 project was sent home on Friday. It is very important to post this near your telelphone in the house and to go over these rules with your children again. They know to call 911 in case of an emergency.
Tu B'Shvat was the next Jewish holiday that we learned about. We spoke about how it is the new year for the trees. The children came up with many different ideas about what trees do for us and ways we use them and things we get from them. We then read the book The Giving Tree. The kids loved the book! In honor of Tu B'Shvat our class made very special hats with the 7 different species speacial from israel connected to this holiday. We also got to make fruit necklaces with the fruits from Israel. We hope you like them. Morah Chani led a special celebration where we all got to try the 7 different foods. The children we all so brave and tried all of them. Some of them hesitated but they all did it in the end - Morah told them how proud she was. We even got to try new fruits like star fruit, dragon fruit and a few others too!
On Thursday we went on a very special trip the to pizza store. The children behaved SO NICELY! They all worked so hard and together with their frinds to make some really yummy pizzas. Great job! While we waited for the pizzas to cook Morah read us a special book about going to the pizza store that we enjoyed hearing. Morah also made up a few different games that each table got to take turns playing that all had to do with pizza. One was a matching game with pizza items/ foods, another was putting the pizzas in order from giggest to smallest or vis versa, and there was also another game that was a puzzle for the children to put together of a boy eating a slice of pizza. What a great trip. Such a fun week! Can't wait to see what happens next week!
