This week we have begun discussing fire safety. Today we talked about how if there is an emergency we dial 9-1-1. I made sure to stress that we only dial this number in an emergency. Today we did a large group project. This project involved making a firetruck. I like to have the children work in centers because it is easier to meet the needs of the children when they are in small groups. Large group instruction has its benefits too. When children work as a large group they have learn to be good listeners, so they don't miss any steps in the process.
When the children finished assembling their firetrucks they were able to draw a steering wheel, a hose, a firefighter, and anything also that they felt would be on a firetruck. In 4K one of our goals is to help the children draw recognizable pictures. To help with this at home you may encourage your child to draw pictures for their loved ones and friends. This way they are practicing the skill as well as having a purpose to do it.
