Letter F and Community Helpers!

This was week 2 of exploring our Community Helper theme. Each day we discussed a different person who helps us. Monday we talked about doctors and nurses. We made a collage using medical supplies like band aids, gauze, and cotton balls. Tuesday we discussed constrution workers. We had fun building with blocks, using tools on our toy toy bunch, and "fixing" stuff! Wednesday we talked about teachers. We used a lot of fine motor/pincer grasping to peel "teacher" stickers off and decorate our paper. Sounds easy but for 2-4 year olds, it can prove to be a challenge. We also talked about clerks and people that work at the food stores. The kids looked though cooking magazines and put together a collage of food items. To end our week, we talked about chefs. We finger painted on chefs hats and decorated them with sprinkles.

Whew! What a fun week we have had talking about people that help us! We also came up with ideas on how we can be community helpers and help others too!!! Enjoy some pictures from the week!
