CCP Firefighter Day

Greetings Families!!

Our Community Helpers unit at preschool is in full swing, and the children are loving every second of it! Last Wednesday, we had the fun opportunity to have firefighters come visit the preschoolers to talk about fire safety! In fact, one of the firefighters was a familiar face to some of the preschoolers: "Uncle Norm", or Firefighter Chris (Chris Orman!!)You can imagine the excitement that was buzzing around the school. The children got to talk about the risks of burns from fire as well as learn some fire safety skills, not to mention they got a full tour of the fire engine! It was a happy day!! Check it out:

And the last snip-it I'll leave you with is a fun video of Mrs. Elicia...only because I know how much she'll appreciate being on the internet. Not only was it firefighter day, it was also Mrs. Elicia's birthday! And she got to try on the fire suit! (Dream do come true here at preschool!!)

Have a great week everyone!

Community Helpers

Hello, Everyone!

 

It's been another great week here at CCP! Our Community Helpers unit has been off to a great start! We've taken a look at our community here in Duluth and have explored a variety of professions. We had our very first field trip last Friday, where we walked to the Mount Royal library. The children did a GREAT job with their walking! And everyone loved learning about the library. We had a big discussion on how the library is a community place where people go to learn and concentrate, and we practiced using our best whispering voices. The preschoolers did an awesome job whispering all during our visit....until they played with the train table! It is NOT easy to make whisper-train sounds! haha We tried!

 

This week we continue to talk about Community Helpers. The teachers have been busy working on setting up some potential field trips. A firefighter visit, a trip to the farmers market, and a trip to the grocery store are all in the works, so be on the look out for sign-ups at school.

 

Don't forget that this week is a short week! No school Thursday and Friday.

 

I'll leave you with some fun snap-shots of your cute little ones at work and play!!:
