Community Helpers

How are you enjoying this rain?  Rainy days can sometimes be hectic, as rain often means no recess!  However, we've had an AMAZING day this Friday, as well as an overall AMAZING week!  This week, we learned all about community helpers.  We explored different means in which we can serve the community when we grow up.  The children got to practice these jobs at center time, and each got to choose which job they'd like to work when they grow up.

Doctors certainly serve our community...

as do construction workers,

farmers,

chefs,

and hairdressers, too!

(isn't that cosmetology doll hair Kamryn's cutting kind of awesome?!  We found it at Savers LOL!)

Even our science lesson this week was about community helpers!  Miss Brigid taught us all about forensic scientists.  We learned about collecting evidence, as well as taking and examining fingerprints.  How cool is it that every person in the world has a fingerprint that is completely unique?  We are so wonderfully made!

Miss Brigid showed us her fingerprint on a blown up balloon!  SO cool!!

Examining our own fingerprints with magnifiying glasses!

Thank you so much, Miss Brigid, for such an awesome science lesson!

In other news, we will be starting a fun, classwide project starting today.  We have a new and special classroom friend.  His name is Speedy Bear:

Speedy Bear will be visiting each and every child's home on a rotational basis.  When your child has their turn with Speedy Bear, there are special responsibilities of which they must take care of.  These include feeding Speedy Bear his bottle, putting on his bib, dressing him in his pajamas, reading him a story, and keeping track of all other fun memories spent at each visit.  More information will be given to you when it is your child's turn to take Speedy Bear home.  The children were SO excited to meet Speedy and learn all about this special project.  Miss Hannah showed us how to feed Speedy his bottle, as well as how to dress him in his pajamas.

I think that is about all for now.  I hope you enjoyed all of this week's photos.  Any special plans for Super Bowl Sunday?  We had two little boys each represent the teams playing this weekend.  I just HAD to take their picture together.

Who will you be rooting for?

Have a safe and blessed Super Bowl Weekend!  Stay dry!

Peace and joy,

Miss Brooklyn
