When we came in to the classroom, we had our snack, then had our Morning Circle. We spent some time talking about the calendar since today was the first day of October. It was really easy to do our counting! We also read Firefighters by Norma Simon. There weren't any people in the book--just dogs! All of the firefighters were dalmatians, white dogs with black spots.
Then it was time for centers. At our rug center we had a new firefighter center that we really loved! We also had our finger puppets again. Some of them needed to be rescued by our firefighters! At Miss Paula's center we put black spots on our dalmatian dogs, then did some coloring and played a fire safety game. At Miss Kathleen's center we worked with tangrams, We talked about the different colors and shapes and used some of them to make pictures.
After we cleaned up centers, we lined up with donations for our Be Kind To Animals Week and took them all down to the hall table.
