Preschool Weekly Wrap Up- Letter F

30
Dec

Our Crafts N Things

Back in October, during Fire Safety, week we did a unit all about fire safety and the letter F.

Our Crafts N Things

We used this book, No Dragons for Tea by Jean Pendziwol.  I had never read this book before and we loved it!  It was such a perfect story to teach about fire safety and what to do if there is a fire.

Hunter loves using these do-a-dot markers, so we usually do one of these letter worksheets with each letter.

Our Crafts N Things

Hunter glued red, yellow, and orange pieces of paper onto a letter F to look like fire.

Hunter colored firetrucks different colors, according to the color word.

Hunter worked in a Fireman counting book- he counted the different items and then circled the number that corresponded.

We learned about Stop, Drop, and Roll and then Hunter colored a paper about it.

I made some pretend flames and laminated them.  I also wrote numbers on them to practice identifying numbers.  Then I covered a spray bottle with red tape and made it look like a fire extinguisher.  Hunter loved spraying the flames!

Hunter made a little fireman hat.

I made this cute firetruck with our co-op preschool class.  This is Hunter’s firetruck.

Hunter mixed together yellow and red paint on a flame shaped paper.  He was very impressed to see it turn orange.

Then we practiced saying- Don’t hide!  Go outside!

And of course, we went on a field trip to a fire station.

It was super fun week!

Dot the Dalmatian

One of the books we read last week for our Fire Safety theme had a dalmatian in it named Dot.  So, Hailey decided that she wanted to make Dot the Dalmatian.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

You’ll need: red and black construction paper, google eyes, glue and a paper bowl.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Cut out a tongue, ears and spots.  I used a 3 hole punch to cut out a bunch of spots for the dog.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Glue the spots onto the bowl.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Add the eyes, ears and tongue.  Then Hailey told me we needed to add a hat just like Dot in the book had.  So, I did my best to make a hat.

Fire Truck

Since last week was Fire Safety Week we did some fire safety art projects.  I had a bunch of them planned but we got busy and ran out of time to do everything.  I do have a couple of ideas to share though.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Put some yellow and red paint on a piece of paper.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Spread and mix the paint using a cotton ball until it looks like fire.  I ended up having to add more yellow to try to get the orange look I was hoping for.

Then cut out some pieces to make a fire truck

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

Glue the fire truck together.

Our Crafts ~N~ Things
