Wednesday 10/8/08

Daily Stuff-weather, pledge, calendar, count to 10 in Spanish
Introduce theme- they had to put together a firefighter puzzle to see what we were going to talk about
Craft- make fire badges and fire hats
Freeplay- put together a fire station
Phonics-used word play from hooked on Phonics to put together fire words-pot, hot, etc
Movement-We imagined that we were fire fighters and I hid 5 stuffed animals on the play ground. They had to run to get them "out of the burning building" and bring them back. We timed them to see how fast we could do it, so we were practicing on counting to 30. Then we did some fire fighter exercises--sprint to get the animal, a relay to save an animal, and hanging for arm strength.
Snack and stories- I tell or read stories during snack. We did a story of my brother almost catching our home on fire and a story of the bravery of the fire fighters during 9/11.
Values emphasized- bravery and team work
