HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Today the kids came to preschool in their Halloween costumes, ready for a fun day of school! I love to see all the different costumes; the kids were adorable! We played Halloween Bingo, ate pumpkin cookies, and trick-or-treated each other. Halloween is always such a FUN holiday to celebrate! I hope everyone has a FUN and SAFE HALLOWEEN!

BLACK BATS!

The color of the day today in preschool was black! For our art project today the kids made black bats. It was so much fun to see how excited the kids were to color, cut, and put on their bat masks. They looked so cute, I had to take a picture to share!! 

TRIP TO THE FIRE STATION!

 
This month we took a field trip to the fire station! In preschool we have been talking about community helpers and since firefighters are community helpers we wanted to learn a little more about them. At the fire station we met 3 firefighters: the chief, the driver, and the one who puts out the fires. The firefighters took us around the fire station and showed us where they eat, sleep, exercise, relax, and study. Then we got to go check out the fire truck. Some of the kids chose to sit up in the driver's seat. Then firefighter Wes put on his fire gear to show the kids what firefighters look like. They do this so that the kids won't be afraid of them or try and hide from them in a fire. I think the kids had a great time; they were even given firefighter stickers when they got there!
