Good morning!
Next week we start our unit on Valentine's Day...we also participate in a grant so I needed a meatier topic to add to the love fest. My partner in crime (aka the other Pre-K teacher at my school) and I decided to use Community helpers. My only problem with a unit on community helpers, is that every class seems to do this unit and we are the last class in our school. So once they get to my room they have learned all they ever wanted to know and more about doctors, firefighters, lawyers and Indian chiefs. So we decided to put a Valentine spin on Community Helpers.
We will be talking about florists and bakers, post office workers and delivery people, artists and hairdressers...all the people needed to make Valentine's a special day....OOOOOHHH I forgot jewelers (jk ;P). We will spend one day on each profession and I think it will be a great NEW spin on this classic theme.
bakers and florists - the children will make cookies and package the cookies with different silk flowers
post office workers and delivery people - they will deliver their flowers and baked good to the others teachers and staff throughout the building.
artists and hairdressers - they will have access to brushes and combs...no scissors and at the art table they will be creating a valentine to mail home to mom and dad.
I will blog later in the week to tell all!
Enjoy the weekend
