Community Helpers

We had a fabulous week talking about community workers! We already knew a lot about community workers because we could talk about our parent's job. :) After discussing so many community helpers and having a special visit from Dr. Jenkins, we were ready to decide what we wanted to be when we grew up. :)

We used play-doh and popsicle sticks to build houses....just like a construction worker.

Another great pop tab collection for Preston!

Using a ruler to measure pencils! Wow-so smart!

We used blocks to build structures just like a real builder.

Rulers were brought out at the art table to make some really great "ruler art" pictures.

As a team, we "built" a large paper chain. This took some good teamwork.


Dr. Jenkins, a dentist right next to our preschool visited us and taught us all about dental health. He was SO funny and the kids loved seeing him brush Bobo's teeth! Thanks Dr. Jenkins!!

Such good listeners

Using familiar shapes, we also designed our own structures


We also got to practice our brushing skills on some baby helpers in the room! Instead of just clean teeth, they got an overall good brushing. ha!

Our Valentine Party! :)

More winter fun!

The last two weeks have been spent finishing up our winter themes with snowmen (we are still waiting on that snow :) and then we moved into our healthy body theme. We have enjoyed a few non winter days where we've been able to bundle up and head outside for some fresh air on the playground! We've started our new student of the day activity each day and have enjoyed getting out some new center items. Here are our smarties in action!

We are still strengthening our fine motor skills in the sensory table by using safe tweezers to gather pom poms into containers. They love this!

A yummy craft...making snowmen with marshmallows, pretzels, raisins and icing!



We pray each day before snack and on most days, a student volunteers to pray for us! So sweet!

Love must have been in the air with Valentine's day coming up....we sure love our buddies at school! :)

Wow! We are writing our last names now!

They requested another round of ice in the sensory table this week!

So many of our center items are fun and we don't even realize we are learning!

Learning is more fun when in costume of course!

Finding and charting healthy and not so healthy foods

We cut, arranged and glued our numbers in order on a long sentence strip-so smart!

Finally, we started making some special Valentine crafts. We love you to pieces Mom and Dad!
