The children spent the month of November learning about Community Helpers – they enjoyed their visits with our parent police officer and nurse. They learned about staying safe from strangers when out with their parents, the phone number to call in emergencies and even got to sit in a real police car with Officer White. With Nurse Janice they saw how germs spread with "glitter hand germs" and learned how to stay healthy by washing their hands and catching their germs in their elbow "germ-catchers".
We also spent time learning about the first Thanksgiving, what country we live in, where the pilgrims came from and who was here to meet them when they landed at Plymouth Rock. The children talked about all that they were thankful for as we hung our thankful feathers on our hallway Preschool turkey.
The month ended with the children participating in feast preparations for their own classroom feasts with their friends and then sharing Thanksgiving songs with our families.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who provided food or volunteered to help in our classrooms to run our centers for our feasts. We are blessed to have such wonderful, caring parents in our preschool family.
