Little Pumpkins

I sure missed these little girls last week while they were on Fall Break and enjoying vacations with their families and was so glad to get them all back Monday morning!

This week we are learning about pumpkins, scarecrows and the color orange. We are doing crafts and listening to stories and of course eating snacks that go along with our theme.

Here are some pictures from our "Torn Paper Pumpkin" craft that we did.

Fire Prevention and Safety Week

This week we have been learning about how to prevent fires and how to stay safe around fires.

We talked about things being HOT or COLD and to not touch hot things. We made posters to show the difference in hot and cold.

All of our Fire Safety toys and books were out for this special week. One of our favorite books is Kindertown Fire Brigade which we got from Discovery Toys awhile back. It has a CD with the story and some fun songs about firefighters that we really enjoy! I am not sure if they still carry it but you can contact Mrs. Christie's friend, Bonnie Nutzell to see if they do!

We also made some fun snacks to go along with this theme such as candle stick fruit salad and fire truck cookies. The highlight of our week was when a couple of firefighters from Three Star Fire Department brought a fire truck over!

Tomorrow we will watch our DVD called All About: Big Red Fire Engines.

Mrs. Christie said that next year, we'll be able to go to The Memphis Fire Museum! Wow!

Here are some pictures from our Fire Safety Week:

Hello!

I know it has been a few days since I posted anything...we have been busy having fun!

This morning before my husband left for work, he let the girls feed the chickens pieces of bread through the window. They liked that! Here is a picture:

Speaking of chicken, today for lunch we had chicken patties, fries, peas, applesauce and milk. They had been outside playing for about an hour and we dirty and hungry. Now they are all alseep :)

Next week I will try to get back into the habit of posting our activities each day.

Have a blessed day!

The Letter A

We have started on our letter of the week and this week we are learning all about A! We have been looking for the letter in books, finding items that start with the letter A, eating "A" foods and doing crafts for A. Here are some pics! Enjoy!
