It's amazing how much of a difference daily practice in using scissors/writing utensils can make!  Here we are at our Morning Work table, building fine motor skills.


When we went out on the playground today we brought some "hoses" for the fire truck!  It was a lot of fun pretending to put out fires with them. We were also very good at sharing.





When we came back inside we had our Morning Circle then it was time for centers.  At our rug center we had one more day of playing with both our fire safety center and our finger puppets.  On Wednesday, we'll replace the puppets with some blocks.  At Miss Paula's center we mixed red and yellow fingerpaint to make flames on our paper, then we glued on a fire truck.  That was really neat!  At Miss Kathleen's center we read a Clifford magazine about being a firefighter, then colored/traced the word EXIT.  We talked about looking for an exit sign if we were ever in a store or restaurant that had a fire.  We also found the EXIT signs in our school!
